--END OF OUTPUT--

WARNING: Unable to find module repositories.
@alerickson today I hit this on a Powershell 7.1 running on windows server core which has outbound connectivity via an http proxy.
Register-PSRepository -Default is a noop with no result.
Register-PSRepository -SourceLocation "https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2/" -Name "PSGallery"
Ends in Register-PSRepository: Use 'Register-PSRepository -Default' to register the PSGallery repository.
This is extremely frustrating.
