    Thank you for the reply. 

    I uninstalled and re-installed the current version of SharePoint Online Management Shell: 16.0.20324.12000. 

     

    Unfortunately, Set-SPOHomeSite still does not work. I tried your recommendation to test any SPO cmdlet, and Set-SpoSite works without any issues. (Please see below).

     

    Any ideas why it'd be doing this? Thanks so much for your help!
