Run PowerShell in administrator mode.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

With PowerShell, you must ensure Get-ExecutionPolicy is not Restricted.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-ExecutionPolicy

If it is Restricted, set it to AllSigned or Bypass.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy AllSigned

or

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process
