Windows 10: Cannot Set Execution Policy in Powershell

Did not experience this problem until this build (10130) but it may have occurred in the build before that also. As you can see in the attachment, I am in Administrator mode but cannot run a script which installs a dozen or so programs. The programs install if I type a "one-liner" (install-package audacity cyberfox malwarebytes etc.).
Anyone else experiencing same problem? Any suggestions?

Rich



Edit: This was a clean install from ISO downloaded from Microsoft site.

Set Execution Policy in Powershell

Thanks for the link that helps me understand the execution policy

Did you try running the command through an elevated command prompt?

 

Kari helped me out previously - that is how I got started with Powershell. Thanks for response!

 

Yup but thanks.........

 

try using a capital U as in Unrestricted

 

No dice*cry

 

That's how I saw it in a TechNet tutorial and thought maybe it was a case sensitive letter problem. Sorry it wasn't it.

 

Sorry about that, didn't read through and see you have already posted there. Maybe try reducing the number of apps will help as that has caused an error before.

 

One reminder though, after you set the ExePol to unrestricted and have run your script don't forget to reset it to either Remote Signed(to execute simple everyday scripts such as powershell"(Get-WmiObject -query ‘select * from SoftwareLicensingService’).OA3xOriginalProductKey"
Or better yet if you don't use it often,, set it back to restricted. There is malware that can get access to PowerShell and then it'll have total access to your system.

 

Understood!

 

Finally found link below which used "gpedit" and was my salvation. Can now run my script! *Smile
