In order for PowerShell scripts to be run, a less restrictive policy must be set. Like “Remote signed”, for example. In order to change the current PowerShell execution script policy to remote signed for the current user, type:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

In order to determine the current PowerShell script execution policy type:

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

Within a PowerShell session type:

$PSVersionTable.PSVersion

or

pwsh -ver
