This is because the user your running the script as has a undefined ExecutionPolicy You could fix this by running the following in powershell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

If you are getting error like this,

We can resolve that using the following steps,

  • Get the status of current ExecutionPolicy by the command below:

    Get-ExecutionPolicy

    By default it is Restricted. To allow the execution of PowerShell scripts we need to set this ExecutionPolicy either as Unrestricted or Bypass.

  • We can set the policy for Current User as Bypass by using any of the below PowerShell commands:

    Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force

    Unrestricted policy loads all configuration files and runs all scripts. If you run an unsigned script that was downloaded from the Internet, you are prompted for permission before it runs.

    Whereas in Bypass policy, nothing is blocked and there are no warnings or prompts during script execution. Bypass ExecutionPolicy is more relaxed than Unrestricted.

Might also wanna consider setting it to:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

You'll get a message about Execution Policy change (obviously) to which I said "A" for yes to all. Select what works best for you.

This should allow you to run your own scripts but any originating from anywhere else will require approval.

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine
