    OK, please try the following commands in PowerShell;

     

    Install-Module MSOnline

     

    then,

     

    Import-Module MSOnline

     

    then try to connect to the MS Online service by entering;

     

    Connect-MsolService

     

    You should be prompted now for your M365 Global Admin credentials.  Login and you can run the Get-MsolUser commands.

     

    In order to execute the Get-ADUser commands, try running Import-Module activedirectory

You should set the TLS 1.2 Registry Keys

This is just a temporary workaround
[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = "tls12"

And you need to Run PowerShell as Administrator to install the Module

Or use the Scope Parameter
Install-Module MSOnline -Scope CurrentUser
