+### How to Fix "Running Scripts is Disabled on this System" in PowerShell
+
+PowerShell is blocking your script due to its execution policy settings, which are in place for security reasons. You can change these settings easily to allow your script to run.
+
+#### **Recommended Steps**
+
+1. **Open PowerShell as Administrator**
+    - Click Start, search for PowerShell.
+    - Right-click and select **Run as Administrator**.
+2. **Check Current Execution Policies**
+    - Run:
+
+```
+Get-ExecutionPolicy -List
+```
+
+    - This displays the policies for each scope (see table below for explanations).
+3. **Unblock Script Execution for Your User**
+    - To allow scripts for your user only (safest):
+
+```
+Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
+```
+
+        - *RemoteSigned* allows scripts you write and scripts downloaded from the internet if they are signed.
+4. **If You Need to Allow All Scripts (Less Secure)**
+    - Run:
+
+```
+Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser
+```
+
+        - This will allow any script to run, regardless of source. Use only if you trust the scripts you’re executing.
+5. **Confirm Security Prompts**
+    - If prompted, press **Y** to confirm or type **A** (if asked) to accept all future changes[^1_1][^1_2][^1_3].
+
+#### **If You Still Get the Error (Group Policy Enforced)**
+
+If changing the execution policy doesn’t work, your system might have a Group Policy overriding this setting:
+
+- Press `Win + R`, type `gpedit.msc`, and press Enter.
+- Navigate to:
+
+```
+Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows PowerShell
+```
+
+- Double-click **Turn on Script Execution**.
+- Set it to **Enabled** and choose **Allow all scripts** (or less permissive option if desired)[^1_1][^1_4].
+
+
+#### **Execution Policy Scopes Explained**
+
+| Scope | Description |
+| :-- | :-- |
+| MachinePolicy | Enforced by Group Policy for entire machine |
+| UserPolicy | Enforced by Group Policy for current user |
+| Process | Applies only to current PowerShell session |
+| CurrentUser | Applies to scripts run by current Windows user |
+| LocalMachine | Applies to all users on the computer |
+
+*Execution policies set at higher scopes (MachinePolicy, UserPolicy) override lower scopes (CurrentUser, LocalMachine)[^1_5].*
+
+#### **Quick Troubleshooting**
+
+- If only running a script once, you can bypass the policy by running:
+
+```
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\mainscript.ps1
+```
+
+- Use `RemoteSigned` or `Unrestricted` mindfully, as they lower script execution restrictions.
+
+**Note:** Always revert your execution policy to the original or a safer state (such as `Restricted`) after running untrusted or experimental scripts for security[^1_6][^1_5].
