Problem to change the Windows policy of execution in PowerShell
To change the Windows policy of execution in PowerShell, you can use the Set-ExecutionPolicy
cmdlet. However, changing the execution policy requires administrative privileges. Follow these steps:
Open PowerShell as an administrator: Right-click on the PowerShell icon and select "Run as administrator" to open an elevated PowerShell session.
Check the current execution policy: Run the following command to check the current execution policy:
powershellGet-ExecutionPolicy
This will display the current execution policy, which can be one of the following values:
- Restricted: No scripts are allowed to run.
- AllSigned: Only signed scripts can run.
- RemoteSigned: Remote scripts must be signed, but local scripts can run without a signature.
- Unrestricted: All scripts can run.
Set the desired execution policy: Choose the desired execution policy and run the
Set-ExecutionPolicy
cmdlet with the appropriate policy value. For example, to set the execution policy to "RemoteSigned", use the following command:powershellSet-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
You will be prompted to confirm the change. Type "Y" and press Enter to proceed.
Verify the new execution policy: Run the
Get-ExecutionPolicy
command again to confirm that the execution policy has been updated.
Keep in mind that changing the execution policy can have security implications, so it's important to understand the risks and choose an appropriate policy based on your needs. It's recommended to consult your organization's security policies and guidelines before modifying the execution policy.
If you encounter any errors or issues while changing the execution policy, ensure that you have administrative privileges and that your system's security settings allow modifying the execution policy.
