    It worked for me like this:

    1. Install module in Administrator's powershell

    2. Then run powershell as user

    PS C:\Users\t> Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process

    Execution Policy Change

    The execution policy helps protect you from scripts that you do not trust. Changing the execution policy might expose

    you to the security risks described in the about_Execution_Policies help topic at

    https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170. Do you want to change the execution policy?

    [Y] Yes  [A] Yes to All  [N] No  [L] No to All  [S] Suspend  [?] Help (default is "N"): y

    PS C:\Users\t> Import-Module MicrosoftTeams

    PS C:\Users\t> Connect-MicrosoftTeams

    (asks for credentials)

    Account                       Environment Tenant                               TenantId

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

    Worked for me, thanks!

    Most likely the reason is the meanwhile un-supported TLS 1.0 and 1.1. but it may still be the setting for some PowerShell versions. To work around:

    Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type DWord

    Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft.NetFramework\v4.0.30319' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type DWord 

    Then exit and re-start PowerShell as admin.

    It did the job for me.

    Unfortunately, it does not work either. BTW I checked most solutions from many forums/tutorials/solutions and nothing.

    Still disappointed Microsoft don't have a real solution to refresh/reinstall/heal faulty PowerShell or PowerShell module.
