### Description

`Import-Module Az.Tools.Predictor`

This command will request network data when loading, which is slow and will block for a while.
If the network is bad or disconnected, it will be stuck for a long time (10~20s).

in my profile:

```
echo "Loading Predictor..."
date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N %Z"
Import-Module Az.Tools.Predictor
echo "Loading Predictor...Done"
date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%3N %Z"
```

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported timings around the `Import-Module Az.Tools.Predictor` entry point in PowerShell, both online and offline, then trace the module initialization that performs network requests. Done means importing the module no longer blocks for 10–20 seconds when the network is unavailable, with coverage for the affected behavior.
