Problem with repository in PowerShell

Question

_{Tuesday, February 5, 2019 12:59 PM}

I am using Win10 64bit. When I run the next command in Powershell it fails

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-PSRepository
WARNING: Unable to find module repositories.
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

Something similar happens when I try to get any package from PSGallery 

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Install-Module -Name SqlServer
PackageManagement\Install-Package : No match was found for the specified search criteria and module name 'SqlServer'.
Try Get-PSRepository to see all available registered module repositories.
At C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowerShellGet\1.0.0.1\PSModule.psm1:1809 char:21
+ ...          $null = PackageManagement\Install-Package @PSBoundParameters

   ception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoMatchFoundForCriteria,Microsoft.PowerShell.PackageManagement.Cmdlets.InstallPackage

Any idea what might going on?

Please try to install the latest PowershellGet module as described here https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/PowerShellGet/2.0.4 and try your actions again.
