Hi @Jayesh Kashte

This is due to the DLL Version mismatch. To resolve the issue, follow these steps:

1. Uninstall SharePoint Online Management Shell and SharePoint Online Client SDK if installed.
2. Delete SharePoint Online Client Assemblies from: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_MSIL, remove all Folders starting with name: Microsoft.SharePoint
3. Uninstall the module with “Uninstall-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell -AllVersions” and reinstall SharePoint Online Management Shell and the module “Install-Module -Name Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell”
