How To Enable PowerShell Scripts Tutorial
To enable the execution of PowerShell scripts on your Windows system, follow these steps:
Open the Start menu and type "PowerShell".
Right-click on the "Windows PowerShell" result and select "Run as administrator".
In the PowerShell window, type the following command and press Enter:
Copy code
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
This will set the execution policy to "RemoteSigned", which means that scripts that you have written or created locally will be allowed to run, but scripts downloaded from the internet will be blocked unless they have a digital signature.
If you want to allow all scripts to run, regardless of whether they are signed or not, you can use the following command instead:
Copy code
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Keep in mind that this is not recommended, as it could potentially allow malicious scripts to run on your system.
To verify that the execution policy has been set correctly, you can use the following command:
Copy code
Get-ExecutionPolicy
This will display the current execution policy.
To run a PowerShell script, navigate to the folder where the script is saved and type the following command:
Copy code
.\script.ps1
Replace "script.ps1" with the name of your script.
Alternatively, you can also use the following command:
Copy code
powershell -File script.ps1
This will run the script in a new PowerShell window.
