What's Wrong With My Windows PowerShell

Question

Today I Installed Anaconda 3 On My Windows 10 Pro. After that every time I opened PowerShell I got the following Error.

. : File C:\Users\BinoyGhosh\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is

disabled on this system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at

https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

At line:1 char:3

+ . 'C:\Users\BinoyGhosh\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1'

+   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+ CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [], PSSecurityException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess

Any Help/Suggestions Appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi BINOYGHOSH

You must be logged into Windows as Administrator then do this

Right click the Start Button, choose Powershell (admin)

Paste this into Powershell and hit Enter

set-executionpolicy remotesigned

Close Powershell, then check if it is functioning correctly

If not, open Powershell as Admin again and paste this command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy unrestricted

Answer 2

Hello DaveM121,

                         Thanks for your quick reply. If I run this command using PowerShell (admin), Will this cause any problem with my working Anaconda 3? (Cause this is very important for me). And what is this file "profile.ps1" in "C:\Users\BinoyGhosh\Documents\WindowsPowerShell"? Can I delete this file?

EDIT: 

Inside it I found the following information.

#region conda initialize# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!(& "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\conda.exe" "shell.powershell" "hook") | Out-String | Invoke-Expression#endregion

Please reply ASAP!
