Windows 10: Execution Policy in Powershell

Hello,For Execution Policy for PowerShell, mine was set to unrestricted, which I changed to restricted, assuming it will make my PC more secure.I tried to learn about this, but I didnt understand whether restricted is the best and the most secure option for someone who uses this PC for personal usage Or is remotesigned better?&n

Set Execution Policy in Powershell

I set the Execution Policy in Powershell to unrestricted to run a couple of command lines and then set the policy back to restricted. Does setting the policy to unrestricted for a small period of time harm Windows 10? Does one have to set the policy back
to restricted or does closing Powershell and relaunching Powershell put the policy back to restricted?

 

Set Execution Policy in Powershell

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I will surely assist you with your query.

The execution policy is part of the security strategy of Windows PowerShell. It determines whether you can load configuration files (including your Windows PowerShell profile) and run scripts, and it determines which scripts, if any, must be digitally signed
before they will run.

Please refer to the link below to know more about Set Execution policy.

Hope the above information helps.

Thank you.

 

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?
