LKBEN11576: Powershell script cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system.
Symptom
Script is not executed because an errormessage is displayed.
Cause
This is the default setting to enhance security on Windows 10 and 11.
Solution
To run the script, you will have to change the execution policy of powershell scripts.
This can be done with the Set-ExecutionPolicy command.
To be able to execute all scripts, you can use:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Most of the time the following command will do:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Remote
Remote is the same as RemoteSigned. The execution policy type can be one of the following:
- Restricted (default)
- AllSigned
- Unrestricted
- RemoteSigned
You can also enter a scope, which is LocalMachine by default. Other scopes are:
- LocalMachine (default)
- CurrentUser
- Process
You will have to answer the question with "yes" but afterwards your script can be executed.
To just temporarily execute a script you can use a kind of bypass for the policy by doing this:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File your_script.ps1
This can also be used for running scripts in workspace ONE UEM.
Have fun.
