Thanks a lot for your reply.
I thought I had the latest, but I went to my Exchange Admin Center under hybrid and installed the latest. Now it seems to work fine and I am presented with the same MFA login box when I use Connect-MsolService cmdlet.

    I was able to fix it by running the below commands in PS ISE as admin:
    
    Find-Module MSOnline
    
    Install-Module MSOnline
    
    Import-Module msonline
    Connect-MsolService
