I can't seem to update modules. I do not know why I keep getting this error.
WARNING: The version '1.4.8.1' of module 'PackageManagement' is currently in use. Retry the operation after closing the applications.
I'm trying to update Exchange management shell.
Install-Module -Name ExchangeOnlineManagement -Force -AllowClobber
I've tried updating all I can. I've tried what threads and Copilot tell me to and I can't get around it. There is nothing running that would block this.

Just chiming in to say I'm running into the same exact issue. Tried all kinds of tricks, freshly rebooted, etc
Posted twice on accident
Running into the same exact issue today as well. Unable to update even with -force.
I uninstall the exchange module and that runs successfully, but unable to reinstall, and when i reinstall without -force, it tells me it's already installed

Search for "WARNING: The version '1.4.8.1' of module 'PackageManagement' is currently in use" and you'll find several posts (mostly in StackOverflow) that have different ways of addressing this.
Another process may be using the module (like VS Code, for example), or the module may have been installed as "Per user".
