I have been running my code for past few months by doing this –

But, something weird is happening and I am getting this error always –

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 “Unrestricted”. Type “Get-ExecutionPolicy -List”
to view your execution policy settings. For more information, please
see “Get-Help Set-ExecutionPolicy.”

I have referred these links but no luck –

  I am loading the Powershell using C# on a 64-bit Windows 7 via a 32-Bit Winforms Application using .Net 4.0

  What is the exact setting which I need to do such that I do not get this error on any system ? [Everything was working fine]. What should these values be on any system such that I am able to call Powershell from C# seamlessly –

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

Default

MachinePolicy UserPolicy Process CurrentUser LocalMachine

1 2 3 4 5 6

MachinePolicy UserPolicy Process CurrentUser LocalMachine

You should see output like this from Get-ExecutionPolicy -List:

Once you see the scope that has the undesired setting, you can reset it like so:

That is assuming you have permission to do so.
