How to Fix "npm : File C:\Program


Files\nodejs\npm.ps1 cannot be
loaded because running scripts is
disabled on this system." Error

Today, I encountered a common issue while running an NPM command in


PowerShell:
Error:

File C:\Program Files\nodejs\npm.ps1 cannot be


loaded because running scripts is disabled on this
system.

This happens due to PowerShell’s execution policy settings. Here's a step-


by-step guide to resolve it:

🔧 Solution:
Open PowerShell as Administrator:

Search for "PowerShell" in the Start menu.

Right-click on "Windows PowerShell" and select "Run as


administrator."

Change the Execution Policy:

Allow script execution by running:

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Confirm the change by typing Y and pressing Enter.

Verify the Execution Policy:

Check the current policy with:


Get-ExecutionPolicy

It should display RemoteSigned.

Run Your NPM Command Again:

Now, execute your npm command:

npm create vite@latest

⚠️ Important: Always be cautious when changing the execution policy.


Only run scripts from trusted sources. To revert to the default policy:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Restricted
