How to Fix “Running Scripts Is Disabled on This System” in Powershell on Windows 10 [Tutorial]

Powershell Command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

With Powershell scripts, you can automate common tasks under Windows, Microsoft applications and of course Office 365. You can often download practical scripts written by others on the Internet for use on your own computer.

Unfortunately, these scripts can potentially cause bad things you didn’t expect, so Microsoft protected you by disabling Powershell scripts by default on Windows 7. You must also ensure that you download or use only Powershell scripts from a reliable source!

To run unsigned PowerShell scripts from remote computers, you must change the PowerShell execution policy. To determine the current runtime policy setting, start a PowerShell window and type get-executionpolicy -list at the command prompt to identify the current runtime policy setting.

By default, Windows PowerShell is not configured to run scripts. You will notice this when the following error occurs: “Files cannot be loaded because scripts running on this system are disabled. Provide a valid certificate that you can use to sign the files. This error occurs because of a security measure that does not allow scripts to run on your system without your permission.

This error comes when the PowerShell execution policy doesn’t allow us to run scripts. I also found the same error when tried to run a PowerShell script.

If PowerShell throws up an error message – File cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system, then you need to enable script running on your Windows 10 computer. The cause of this error comes to the fact that your user account does not have enough permissions to execute that script. This does not mean that you need to have an Administrator level permissions, it also means that you also need to be unrestricted to run these type of PowerShell scripts or cmdlets

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).

This works but it's too risky for my tastes. If you know how to set it for a specific script then that would be much better.
