PowerShell says “execution of scripts is disabled on this system.”

Question

I am trying to run a cmd file that calls a PowerShell script from cmd.exe, but I am getting this error:

Management_Instal

Answer 1

I'm using Windows 10 and was unable to run any command. The only command that gave me some clues was this:

[x64]

1. Open C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe [as administrator]
2. Run the command> powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

But this didn't work. It was limited. Probably new security policies for Windows10. I had this error:

Set-ExecutionPolicy: Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by a policy defined at a more specific scope. Due to the override, your shell will retain its current effective execution policy of...

So I found another way (solution):

1. Open Run Command/Console (Win + R)
2. Type: gpedit.msc (Group Policy Editor)
3. Browse to Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Powershell.
4. Enable "Turn on Script Execution"
5. Set the policy as needed. I set mine to "Allow all scripts".

Now open PowerShell and enjoy ;)
