When trying to fix PowerShellGet lack of AllowPrerelease Windows actually blocked me from updating PowerShellGet which I knew is the reason why it fails in first place.
When trying to fix PowerShellGet lack of AllowPrerelease Windows actually blocked me from updating PowerShellGet which I knew is the reason why it fails in first place.
Update-Module : Module ‘PowershellGet' was not installed by using Install-Module, so it cannot be updated.
At line:1 char:1

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : ModuleNotInstalledUsingInstallModuleCmdlet,Update-Module
This is because PowerShellGet comes builtin with Windows 2016 but it's on older version. If you want all bells and whistles you need to install newest version from PowerShellGallery.
PS C:\Windows\system32> Install-Module PowerShellGet WARNING: Version '1.0.0.1' of module 'PowerShellGet' is already installed at 'C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\1.0.0.1'. To install version '1.6.7', run Instal l-Module and add the -Force parameter, this command will install version '1.6.7' in side-by-side with version '1.0.0.1'. PS C:\Windows\system32> Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force
Finally just restart PowerShell session and subsequent commands will work without an issue.
