I'm trying to run a .ps1 file from Developer Powershell for VS 2019 and this is what I get:

PS C:\Users\name\Documents\GitHub\proj> ./test.ps1
./test.ps1 : File C:\Users\name\Documents\GitHub\proj\test.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:1
+ ./test.ps1
+ ~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [], PSSecurityException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess

I've followed the steps at https://stackoverflow.com/a/68381260 and I can run a .ps1 file in normal PowerShell, just not in Developer Powershell for VS 2019. Is there some trick to this, or it blocked for a reason? This is the output of Get-ExecutionPolicy -List from Developer Powershell for VS 2019:

PS C:\Users\name\Documents\GitHub\proj> Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

        Scope ExecutionPolicy
        ----- ---------------
MachinePolicy       Undefined
   UserPolicy       Undefined
      Process       Undefined
  CurrentUser       Undefined
 LocalMachine       Undefined

  • Does this answer your question? PowerShell says "execution of scripts is disabled on this system." Commented Jan 22, 2024 at 5:20
  • @KenWhite no - my issue is in Developer Powershell for VS 2019 specifically. Commented Jan 22, 2024 at 5:22
  • Did you execute Set-ExecutionPolicy in your developer PowerShell or in your regular PowerShell? Commented Jan 22, 2024 at 8:16
  • Developer PowerShell is still PowerShell, and policy execution permissions are set exactly the same way in both, which means that the link I provided does in fact apply. Commented Jan 22, 2024 at 14:21

    If you do not want to mess with execution policies, just execute powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File ./test.ps1 instead of ./test.ps1. Commented Jan 23, 2024 at 6:52
