I changed the PSLiteDB.psd1 file and added explicit declaration of cmdlets, functions and aliases to be exported.
It works like this.

Thank you for reporting this.
Seems to be happening only with powershell 5 and not with powershell 7. I am guessing something changed with .net, anyway need to investigate this a little more.

Thanks @v2kiran , this seems to be fixed in Windows Powershell 5.1 with version 2.3.0 of the module.
