Connect-AzAccount works through powershell but not when called by C# application running in VS2022 #27374

Description

I have a windows forms application that we migrated to .NET 9 so that Microsoft.Powershell.SDK will run Powershell 7 instead of Powershell 5 due to issues we were facing with Connect-AzAccount in PowerShell 5. From Powershell 7, I can run Connect-AzAccount with no issue, but when I execute the command vai a PowerShell object in C#, the interactive browser login does not open, and I get a Method not found error for Azure.Identity,InteractiveBrowserCredential.AuthenticateAsync.

I have tried disabling WAM, turning off the V2 Login Experience and connecting using a service account:

#Update-AzConfig -EnableLoginByWam $false
#Update-AzConfig -LoginExperienceV2 Off

Connecting using a service account - this returned an "Entry point not found" error and seems to be using a different API call than when I run it directly in Powershell v7

These solutions are for Powershell 5 and Az.Accounts 2.6.2. I'm using Powershell 7 and Az.Accounts 4.0.2
