That doesn’t seem to answer my question about MachinePolicy or UserPolicy Execution. How can I change either of them?

Take a look to the examples.

Thank you very much. So, is there anything I need to do in Group Policy Editor other than turn on script execution? Also, if I set Machinepolicy in Group Policy Editor to Unrestricted, will I see that when I type Get-executionpolicy -list in PowerShell?

You did not mention yet that you want to do it with GPOs. Please keep in mind we cannot see your screen and we cannot read your mind. So you have to provide us with all needed information explicitly. 👆🏽

There is an easy way to find GPOs …

There is an easy way to figure that out … try it. 😉 … it will not hurt you. 🤷🏽‍♂️
