Module is not available after being imported - powershell

I was using the WASP PowerShell Module, previously it worked correctly but has now stopped working.
Currently I'm unable to import the module as it seems to be empty. Get-Command -Module WASP also returns nothing.
Import-Module -Name .\WASP.dll -Force

I've downloaded the module again but it did not help (I remember to unlock file after downloading). I'm using Windows 10.
How do I make the module work again?

Export-Counter missing from Powershell 7.1

Any idea how to export counters in Powershell 7.1.0? The command is missing with the latest update.

Using both desktop Powershell 5.1 and Powershell Core 6.1

I was playing with PS.Core 6.1 in my VS Code - made it the default shell, opened PS debugging sessions with it, opened its console, etc ...
Now I am opening the regular desktop Powershell 5.1 and get this:
Windows PowerShell

---------- ------- ---- ----------------

C:\Program Files\PowerShell\Modules
c:\program files\powershell\6\Modules
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules
C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules
PS C:\Users\me>
This is not good. The PS.Core 6.1 installed its own Microsoft.PowerShell.Utility module which is incompatible with the desktop version.
The PSModulePath environment variable now lists the PS.Core 6 modules alongside the desktop modules, even with higher priority. Even though I do not see it in the Control Panel:
What a mess.
EDIT 1
The mess I observe is when I launch the shells from the shortcuts I have in the taskbar. The desktop one targets C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe and the core one - "C:\Program Files\PowerShell\6\pwsh.exe" -WorkingDirectory ~
EDIT 2
So, somehow, either installation of PS.Core or my experimentation with VS.Code has updated the environment of the parent explorer.exe process. I describe it here - How does PSModulePath environment property get composed?
Could be a bug in the installation of PS.Core, which means it is a one time thing. Or a bug in VS Code, which means I could screw it again.

I think the issue might be setting PowerShell Core 6.1 as your default shell.
If I launch PowerShell 5.1 (powershell.exe) from cmd prompt:

Now, if I launch PowerShell Core 6.1 from cmd prompt first, then launch PowerShell 5.1 from PowerShell Core 6.1 (i.e. as if you set your default shell to PowerShell Core 6.1):

I agree that this is unexpected.
The good news is that we can access the old module as well, by specifying the -MaximumVersion:

Thx a lot, actually I was missing out the part about PS ExchangeOnline...
So the answer is just:
$exchangeSession = New-PSSession -ConfigurationName Microsoft.Exchange -ConnectionUri "https://outlook.office365.com/powershell-liveid/" -Credential $credential -Authentication "Basic" -AllowRedirection
Import-PSSession $exchangeSession
and get-user is working :)
thx again

Get-Command not behaving as described

All the examples I see for Get-Command show the results as
CommandType Name Definition

Whereas I get:
CommandType Name Version Source

Any ideas why?

Thats probably because the examples omit the Source column. However, you can use the Select-Object cmdlet to select the properties you want:

powershell remote import module error

I have a problem with this code
Invoke-Command -ComputerName $CSC_SERVER -ScriptBlock {
Import-Module ("C:\Build_v.6.1.0.9\Tools\CommonComponents.BuildCommands.dll")
}
Error:
Could not load file or assembly "file: /// C: \ Build V.6.1.0.9 \ Tools \ CommonComponents.BuildCommands.dll" or one of their dependent components. The assembly created in a later version of the runtime than the current, and can not be loaded.
When I go to the server via RDP and try to load this module everything is OK.
how to fix this problem?

Now I see that difference in CLRVersion. Powershell remoting uses CLR version 2.0. What is the reason for this behavior? And how to change it to version 4.0?
