According to Microsoft Tech Support it might be a problem with Execution Policy Settings. To fix it, You should try executing Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process (as mentioned in the comment section by @wtsiamruk) in Your Power Shell. This would allow running virtualenv in the current Power Shell session.

Unsafe way, but recommended by MS Tech Support would be Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force (which do unleash powers to screw Your system up).

EDIT: edited and added the SAFER way from the comment section.
