Prerequisites

• I have written a descriptive issue title.
• I have searched all open and closed issues to ensure it has not already been reported.
• I have read the troubleshooting guide.
• I am sure this issue is with the extension itself and does not reproduce in a standalone PowerShell instance.
• I have verified that I am using the latest version of Visual Studio Code and the PowerShell extension.
• If this is a security issue, I have read the security issue reporting guidance.

Summary

If you load a PowerShell file that has references to Azure PowerShell commands the assemblies are being loaded without loading the module fully.

This is repeat of #3012 which was closed with no solution. Extensions do not matter in this case, it is when a file that has Azure module references is opened the assemblies get loaded but not the actual modules.
