You have 2 updates available. Consider updating your CLI installation with 'az upgrade'

Whenever I try to run a command (such as "az upgrade" or "az feedback") I get the following error:

The command failed with an unexpected error. Here is the traceback:

How can I get this working again on windows?

@CraigNicol-9899 - Thank you for reaching out to us.

We managed to upgrade azure-cli from 2.33 to 2.36 using az upgrade and can't reproduce this issue. Could you please provide more information on which command broke az, thank you.

I think it was an extension I installed, but I can't remember which one. I wonder if it's arcdara as the metadata for that one appears to be missing.

I think it started failing after I installed Azure Data Studio, and that told me that az CLI was not installed and offered to install it for me. And it's been prompting me to install is on startup ever since, even though I keep telling it to install it.

@CraigNicol-9899 - Since the issue started after installing azure data studio, I am redirecting this issue to the appropriate team so they can provide more insights on this issue.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation on this.
