                    How to enable Execution Policy in Windows PowerShell?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

                    The execution policy of Windows PowerShell is set as not to execute or run the scripts by default. To execute and run the scripts in PowerShell users must enable execution policy.<\/p>\n

                    There is a total of four types of execution policies available in PowerShell:<\/p>\n

                    Restricted-<\/strong> No script is executed in this policy.<\/p>\n

                    RemoteSigned-<\/strong> Only scripts that have been downloaded from the Internet and signed by a trusted publisher can run.<\/p>\n

                    Unrestricted-<\/strong> All scripts can run.<\/p>\n

                    AllSigned-<\/strong> Scripts signed by a trusted publisher can run.<\/p>\n

                    The execution policy in Windows PowerShell is set as restricted by default. To Change to execution policy to Unrestricted to run any PowerShell scripts, users should execute the following command.<\/p>\n

                    Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted<\/p>\n
