One-Time "Set-ExecutionPolicy" Iteration in a Worklet

Using "Set-ExecutionPolicy" in a Worklet

The Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet is often required to enable scripts to execute in PowerShell. When used within a worklet, the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet can temporarily adjust the execution policy for the current session. This change reverts after the PowerShell session ends.

Steps

1. Run the Cmdlet

Use the following command to set the execution policy to "Bypass" for the current session:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Force
  • -Scope Process: Limits the policy change to the current session.
  • -ExecutionPolicy Bypass: Allows all scripts to run without restriction.
  • -Force: Prevents prompts for confirmation.

2. Verify the Policy After running the cmdlet, verify the execution policy using:

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
  • This ensures the policy for the process scope is set to "Bypass."

3. Exit PowerShell Once you exit PowerShell, the execution policy reverts to its original configuration.

Additional Notes

  • Use the execution policy responsibly, as bypassing it can introduce security risks.
  • Ensure administrative privileges when running the cmdlet.

Troubleshooting

  • If the cmdlet does not work, check your user permissions.
  • Ensure no group policies enforce a conflicting execution policy.
