    Did you already try to stop/start your PowerShell session?

    Do you have multiple vCenters connected?

    Does it do this for all vCenters? Or a specific one?

    Any disconnected, orphaned or otherwise funny VMs in the environment?

    Did you already try to stop/start your PowerShell session?

    Yes

    Do you have multiple vCenters connected?

    No Only Single vCenter

    Does it do this for all vCenters? Or a specific one?

    I didn't tested on multiple vCenters.

    Any disconnected, orphaned or otherwise funny VMs in the environment?

    No Such vM's observed in the environment.

    This time I opened a powercli window and executed (get-vm) but no luck.

    But Get-VM *  can show vm names.

    Can you do the following, and post the output?

    Get-Module -Name VMware* -ListAvailable

    Best Answer

    You seem to have multiple PowerCLI versions installed.

    I would suggest to remove all of them (also the entry you find in the Programs and Features applet).

    Remove all the module folders related to PowerCLI.

    And then do a fresh install with Install-Module.
