PowerShell script execution disabled windows 10

If you want to turn on or off Windows PowerShell script execution in Windows 10, follow this step by step guide. We will use the Registry Editor and Local Group Policy Editor to enable or disable this functionality.

You may have to set the PowerShell execution policy when attempting to run PowerShell scripts to allow the script to run. Otherwise you may be greeted with a “scriptname cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this system.” error message.

Windows PowerShell is an essential and handy tool included in the Windows operating system. There are mainly two types of scripts – Signed by a trusted publisher and Local scripts. Local scripts are what you create on your personal computer, whereas the other one is what a trusted publisher has signed to perform a specific task.

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.
