PowerShell Execution Policy

A PowerShell safety setting that controls whether scripts can run and whether they must be signed.

Definition

Policies include Restricted (no scripts), AllSigned, RemoteSigned (downloaded scripts must be signed), Unrestricted, and Bypass. It is a safety feature, not a security boundary. Get-ExecutionPolicy -List shows policy at each scope.

Example

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser allows local scripts to run.

Exam tip

'running scripts is disabled on this system' means execution policy blocks scripts.
