If you  or a helpful admin  runs Set-ExecutionPolicy as administrator  the policy will be set for all users   I would suggest  remoteSigned  rather than  unrestricted  as a safety measure    NB   On a 64-bit OS you need to run Set-ExecutionPolicy for 32-bit and 64-bit PowerShell separately

This should solve your problem  you should try to run the following below   Set-ExecutionPolicy  -ExecutionPolicy  RemoteSigned  -Scope  CurrentUser

User · Answer

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser   This will set the execution policy for the current user  stored in HKEY CURRENT USER  rather than the local machine  HKEY LOCAL MACHINE   This is useful if you don t have administrative control over the computer
