Windows 10: PowerShell 1 Execution policy is bad in registry will not stay changed (fixed)

I am having the exact same problem as in this thread:


https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...registry/b2625908-4521-4f49-91de-9cdd8d40e862


I followed the instructions and changed the registry to 'restricted' but something keeps switching it back to 'unrestricted'.


Norton Power Eraser finds the issue but my McAfee and Malwarebytes do not. What can I do to eliminate the virus or whatever is causing this issues? First noticed it when I clicked on a chat video in facebook.


Here is the link that caused the issue:

PowerShell 1 Execution policy is bad in registry

Hi SusanHout1,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Could you please help me with the below questions:

• What is the make and model of the computer?
  
• What is the version of Windows installed on your computer?
  
• Have you logged into the computer with the admin account?
  
• When do you get this error message?
  

I have reviewed the information provided by you and I appreciate the time you have taken to resolve this issue, I realize how frustrating these things can be. We at Microsoft prioritize our customer’s satisfaction. Keeping that
in mind, I will suggest you the steps which might take care of this issue.


I would suggest you to run the scan on the computer using Windows defender. To do so, follow the Microsoft article on
Help protect my PC with Windows Defender Offline.
Once the scan is done, check if the issue is fixed or help us with the error message.

To turn off controlled access on Windows 10, follow the steps mentioned in the article
Allow a blocked app in Windows Security.


To fix the
PowerShell 1 ExecutionPolicy, I suggest you to follow these steps.

Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry
before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. To backup and restore registry key, refer Microsoft article on How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.

1. Press Windows andR
   key together on your Keyboard.
2. Type Regedit and hit enter.
   
3. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\ShellIds\Microsoft.PowerShell
4. In the right pane, right click on the empty area and select New > select DWORD (32-BIT VALUE).
   
5. Type: ExecutionPolicy
6. Set the string value ExecutionPolicy to one of the following values:
   Restricted, AllSigned, RemoteSigned, Unrestricted, Undefined.

If you would like me to provide additional advice, simply respond to this thread. I will get notified and I’ll reply to you as soon as I can.

Hope it helps.

PowerShell 1 Execution policy is bad in registry

it was detected as bad by dell who used Norton power eraser to locate the issues in my computer, Norton says they can not fix it, that Microsoft needs to fix it , I came to micorosoft to get help a tech, tried to reinstall Microsoft windows, after the computer
restarted a windows said failed contoll access, blocked c memory, I came back to Microsoft and a guy in support got into my computer and made a mess of it, he shut down programs without reinstalling them, tried to open mic which was also a blocked action,
never tried to fix the powershell, but shut down all os security and killed Malwarebytes and dell support and assist, then he restarted my computer quickly after closing LogMeIn, it restarted very slowly, was horrible, many icons missing on task bar, I was
in shock, I came back to Microsoft and asked again for help, the third guy tell me the second one was a scammer, and I showed him all three from same support page chat in Microsoft, he gets my phone number, calls me while on the phone while another guy on
that chat gets into my computer and shut off every service, dell, intel, diagnotics, events, etc, now this time I am terrified to use support at Microsoft and am asking for help from the Microsoft community, not one of those guys fixed the registry error the
first one it seemed tried tho and I am horrified by what has happened to me, now I repaired as much as I could the system as it was before coming here this time for help but the registry powershell is still bad and the control access is still blocking any
attempt to fix anything, can someone who is a real tech help to fix this nightmare please

***Modify title from : hkey machine powershell 1 shell id microsoft executionpolicy is bad and i dont know how to repair it ***

 

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?
