Import-Module PowerShellGet error: Cannot find a variable with the name 'AmsiContext'

[bvbeek]

Can anyone help me with this issue?

When I execute this command:

Import-Module PowerShellGet

I got this error:

Import-Module : Cannot find a variable with the name 'AmsiContext'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Import-Module PowerShellGet
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (AmsiContext:String) [Import-Module], ItemNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : VariableNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ImportModuleCommand

The second time it goes fine:

Seems to be an issue with SentinelOne (virus checker):
