.SYNOPSIS
Refresh the PowerShell Module Information
.DESCRIPTION
Refresh the PowerShell Module Information
.PARAMETER Verbose
Verbose output, default is not
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Initialize-ModuleUpdate
.EXAMPLE
PS C:\> Initialize-ModuleUpdate -Verbose
.NOTES
PowerShell will auto-load modules. However, with some modules, this technique may fail.
Their cmdlets will still only be available after you manually import the module using Import-Module.
The reason most likely is the way these modules were built.
PowerShell has no way of detecting which cmdlets are exported by these modules.
