Hi Please help me on this

am unable to set the ExecutionPolicy in powershell.

Execution Policy Change
The execution policy helps protect you from scripts that you do not trust. Changing the execution
policy might expose you to the security risks described in the about_Execution_Policies help
topic at about Execution Policies - PowerShell | Microsoft Docs. Do you want to change the execution
policy?
[Y] Yes [N] No [S] Suspend [?] Help (default is “Y”): y
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 AllSigned. Type “Get-ExecutionPolicy -List” to view your execution policy settings. For more information
please see “Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy”.

Hello,

Do you have any GPO that is overriding the setting?

If you start a new shell and type the following:

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

What does it return?

Also, make sure you are running the 

Set-ExecutionPolicy
with elevated privileges.
