The 'Connect-SPOService' command was found in the module, but the module could not be loaded.
I'm in the same boat - the only difference being that my Powershell is later. Has a solution been identified??

Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell 16.0.21811.12000IanCook_Blue Hi Ian, I switched to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-pnp/?view=sharepoint-ps, works a lot better for me.
- Hello, Do you have client components too?
"There is a known issue between the SharePoint Online Management Shell module and SharePoint Client Components SDK where the module will fail to load if both are installed on the same computer. If you encounter this issue, uninstall the SharePoint Client Components SDK."
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/sharepoint/sharepoint-online/connect-sharepoint-onlineGood catch. I installed this the other day for reasons I can't recall, and was suddenly unable to get SharePoint Online Management working in PowerShell today. I was beginning to think I was going crazy.
It's insane that it's been almost 3 years since this was posted and Microsoft STILL hasn't fixed it.
