    Hi @Boopathi Subramaniam

    You must set the PowerShell Execution Policy from Restricted to RemoteSigned or Unrestricted to allow local PowerShell scripts to run.

    For more information about PowerShell Execution Policy, type help about_signing or help Set-ExecutionPolicy at the PowerShell command prompt.

    Procedure

    1. Select Start > All Programs > Windows PowerShell version > Windows PowerShell.
    2. Type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned to set the policy to RemoteSigned.
    3. Type Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted to set the policy to Unrestricted.
    4. Type Get-ExecutionPolicy to verify the current settings for the execution policy.
    5. Type Exit.

    Execution policies are hierarchical. See here: about_execution_policies or "help about_Execution_Policies"

    Your "MachinePolicy" is "AllSigned". That takes precedence over "Process".

    Hello RichMatheisen and Learn2Skills,

    Thank your for your help. I changed the registry settings as per below command and it worked.

    Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell -Name ExecutionPolicy -Value ByPass
