Windows PowerShell is one of the best terminals out there to perform several basic operations, time-consuming administrative tasks, and many others. Some even use this platform to forcibly update Windows 10, prevent buggy updates from occurring automatically, etc. However, in certain cases, you won’t be able to run PowerShell scripts locally without signing.
Well, you are getting the error message just because Windows 10 doesn’t allow running scripts by default. However, it does provide an option to edit this setting for developers under Update & Security. Read the below guideline to modify the related setting in Windows 10 –

If you are not able to run PowerShell scripts successfully in Windows 10, use these steps –
