Unknown Microsoft icon on desktop

Just noticed on my desktop an icon for Windows azure Active Directory powershell and in the properties of it :

c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command "import-module msonline"

I have a 365 license, just wondering if it was installed at some point during an update?

I’ve uninstalled the app but still have the msonline app installed.

It's for connecting to Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) using PowerShell. Although it's deprecated now.

It’s not something I remember installing, could Microsoft have pushed it out ? My home PC is standalone.

Bit strange it's only something you'd normally use if you were managing a business office 365 tenant.

Just been on chat with Microsoft, seems like it is normally used to administer a business 365 account and has been pushed to my personal PC in error so I just uninstall them.
