Failed to query available provider packages

I'm using the Powershell in the Azure Portal. Terraform version = v1.0.3 Powershell version = 7.1.3

this is my code

provider "azurerm" { features {}
}
resource "azure_storage_account" "lab" { name = "newbloddystoragegroup" resource_group_name = "TFResourcegroup" location = "eastus" account_tier = "Standard" account_replication_type = "LRS"
}
resource "azure_storage_container" "lab" { name = "blobcontainer4dev" storage_account_name = azure.storage.account.lab.name container_access_type = "private"
}
resource "azure_storage_blob" "lab" { name = "TerraformdevBlob" storage_account_name = azure_storage_account.lab.name storage_container_name = azure_storage_container.lab.name account_replication_type = "Block"
}
resource "azure_storage_share" "lab"{ name = "terraformdevshare" storage_account_name = azure_storage_account.lab.name quota = 50
}

but when I run terraform init..I get the following error

Initializing provider plugins...
- Finding latest version of hashicorp/azurerm...
- Finding latest version of hashicorp/azure...
- Installing hashicorp/azurerm v2.74.0...
- Installed hashicorp/azurerm v2.74.0 (signed by HashiCorp)

│ Error: Failed to query available provider packages

│ Could not retrieve the list of available versions for provider hashicorp/azure: provider registry registry.terraform.io does not have a provider named

│ Did you intend to use terraform-providers/azure? If so, you must specify that source address in each module which requires that provider. To see which modules are currently depending on hashicorp/azure, run the following command:
│ terraform providers

I've run this..

terraform providers
Providers required by configuration:
.
├── provider[
└── provider[

but I don't know what I have to change

What I've tried ...

1. I've put

provider "azurerm" { features {}
} 

into its own provider.tf file...but I'm still getting the error

2. I've tried to put

provider "" { features {}
} 

...but it turns out that that is unacceptable syntax

3. I've tried replacing

provider "azurerm" { features {}
} 

with

required_providers { azurerm = { source = "hashicorp/azurerm" version = "2.74.0" }

..but that didn't work either

..any help is gratefully received....just guide me ..you don't necessarily need to tell me the answer

I believe you have gotten this error because you used azure_* resources

If you open Azure Provider documentation you will figure out that all resources names start with azurerm_* prefix.
