Set PowerShell’s Execution Policy
Restricted – PowerShell won’t run any scripts. This is
PowerShell’s default execution policy.
AllSigned – PowerShell will only run scripts that are
signed with a digital signature. If you run a script signed
by a publisher PowerShell hasn’t seen before,
PowerShell will ask whether you trust the script’s
publisher.
RemoteSigned – PowerShell won’t run scripts
downloaded from the Internet unless they have a digital
signature, but scripts not downloaded from the Internet
will run without prompting. If a script has a digital
signature, PowerShell will prompt you before it runs a
script from a publisher it hasn’t seen before.
Unrestricted – PowerShell ignores digital signatures but
will still prompt you before running a script downloaded
from the Internet.
Bypass – Everything runs without a warning. Be careful
with this one.
Undefined – No policy is defined in the current scope.
This is used to allow fall-back to policies defined in lower
scopes (more details below) or to the OS defaults.
Check the current policy

Change the policy into RemoteSigned
