In today's digital landscape, PowerShell has become an essential tool for system administrators and IT professionals to automate tasks and manage Windows systems efficiently. However, by default, Windows restricts the execution of PowerShell scripts for security reasons. This article aims to provide a step-by-step guide on how to enable the execution of PowerShell scripts on Windows, allowing users to harness the full potential of PowerShell.

Examples:
To enable the execution of PowerShell scripts, follow these steps:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator by right-clicking on the Start menu and selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)."

2. Check the current execution policy by running the following command:

   Get-ExecutionPolicy

The execution policy determines the level of security applied to PowerShell scripts. By default, it is set to "Restricted," which prevents the execution of scripts.

3. To enable script execution, run the following command:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

This command allows the execution of locally created scripts but requires digitally signed scripts from other sources.

4. If you want to allow the execution of all scripts without any restrictions, use the following command:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Note that setting the execution policy to "Unrestricted" poses a potential security risk, as it allows the execution of unsigned scripts.

5. Confirm the changes by running the following command:

   Get-ExecutionPolicy

The output should now display the new execution policy that you have set.
