I have been running my code for past few months by doing this –

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

But, something weird is happening and I am getting this error always –

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 “Unrestricted”. Type “Get-ExecutionPolicy -List”
to view your execution policy settings. For more information, please
see “Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy.”

I have referred these links but no luck –

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

MachinePolicy                                                           
UserPolicy                                                           
Process                                                        
CurrentUser

    You should see output like this from Get-ExecutionPolicy -List:

            Scope ExecutionPolicy
        ----- ---------------
MachinePolicy       Undefined
   UserPolicy       Undefined
      Process       Undefined
  CurrentUser       Undefined 
 LocalMachine    RemoteSigned

    Once you see the scope that has the undesired setting, you can reset it like so:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy Undefined -Scope <scope-name>

    That is assuming you have permission to do so.
