Issue Occurence

Above issue occured, when I was connecting to Azure using VsCode through its terminal. I actually wanted to run my .ps1 script (powershell script) in Azure Cloud shell using VsCode.

I opened the terminal and entered the command - 'Connect-AzAccount'.

Error received:

  There might be prompt related to nuget provider.
  Press Y and then Enter key.

Your command - Connect-AzAccount should work now.
