Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by a policy defined at a more specific scope!!!
You have reached to this blog post probably after hitting into the below issue on executing:
Set-ExecutionPolicy "RemoteSigned"
Error thrown may be as follows:
Set-ExecutionPolicy : 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.
"Set-ExecutionPolicy" cmdlet is used for changing the user preference for the Windows PowerShell execution policy. details can be found here.
If the current logged-in user is an administrator on the system with proper access but still getting the above issue, following blogpost instruction may be helpful in re-setting group policy.
However, if the issue persists and "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List" command shows something similar as shown below:
MachinePolicy = RemoteSigned
UserPolicy = Undefined
CurrentUser = Unrestricted
LocalMachine = RemoteSigned
Execute the below commands in powershell commandline as an administrator:
Set-ExecutionPolicy "RemoteSigned" -Scope Process -Confirm:$false
Set-ExecutionPolicy "RemoteSigned" -Scope CurrentUser -Confirm:$false
This will set the execution policy for the given scope.
On executing "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List", we should now see the below:
MachinePolicy = RemoteSigned
UserPolicy = Undefined
Process = RemoteSigned
CurrentUser = RemoteSigned
LocalMachine = RemoteSigned
