Azure – change execution policy and enable execution of PowerShell scripts

How can I change the policy that will allow me to run the PowerShell script on my machine?
PowerShell screen

I have tried checking the solution described there:

How do you successfully change execution policy and enable execution of PowerShell scripts

I changed the settings in
MMC (Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components)
and
regedit (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Policies -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Powershell)

but all the time I am getting that error on the attached screen

Set-ExecutionPolicy : Windows PowerShell updated your execution policy successfully, but the setting is overridden by a
policy defined at a more specific scope. Due to the override, your shell will retain its current effective execution
policy of RemoteSigned. Type "Get-ExecutionPolicy -List" to view your execution policy settings. For more information p
p lease see "Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy".

    Try this and work up.

    Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process

    You can try other values for scope.

    Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy -Parameter scope

    Get the values for the enum listed for that parametr:

    [Microsoft.PowerShell.ExecutionPolicyScope]::GetValues([Microsoft.PowerShell.ExecutionPolicyScope])

    • You’ve (successfully) updated your script execution policy via a GPO (Group Policy Object; via MMC, as described in your question).

    • GPO-based execution policies have the highest precedence among all the scopes in which you can set a policy; Get-ExecutionPolicy -List shows the scopes in descending order of precedence.

    • Your error message shows an attempt to set the execution policy for the current process (-Scope Process).

    • Because an execution policy in the process scope is overridden by GPO-based execution policies, the process-level attempt is ineffective, and that’s what the error message is trying to tell you.

    • You can ignore the error if the GPO-based execution policy is still permissive enough to allow you to run your script, but I suspect that the process-level attempt to set the execution policy stems from running your scripts via File Explorer’s context menu, whose invocation command is – unfortunately – defined that way.

      • You can try to modify the invocation command via the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTMicrosoft.PowerShellScript.1shellCommand) and remove the Set-ExecutionPolicy call from it.
