How to enable running scripts powershell on Windows?

I want to enable running scripts powershell but it is currently restricted. I am not sure which settings to change. How can I enable running scripts powershell safely? Any simple steps would be helpful.

To enable running scripts in PowerShell, open PowerShell as Administrator and run Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned, then press Y to confirm—this lets you run local scripts while still blocking unsigned ones from the internet. If you just need it temporarily, you can use Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process Bypass, which resets after you close the window; I usually go with RemoteSigned since it’s safer but still practical for everyday use.
