Looking at this Error "Execution of scripts is disabled on this system" when run PowerShell script on Windows PowerShell command prompt
Otherwise seems legit but it contains a link to tutorialscorner.net, Also note that the very same site is the author's home page.

I voted for spam but then again article already had several approvals. Any thoughts?

I'd say that it's not deliberate spam - perhaps a quiet word suggesting he remove the link? It's not needed as the page it points at is pretty poor stuff anyway ...

I'll have the word if you want! Laugh | :laugh:

Thanks for the comment. I left a small message so let's see what happens.
As said, the same site is listed as author's home page in his profile so it's somewhat suspicious...

I can't see any link in his profile, but the link in the tip/trick is still there.

But the site his linking is in the same town as he says he lives.

His other tip from September 2020 is clean though...

@Sean-Ewington would you mind to come by?

If you open the profile page you cannot see the house icon pointing to the specified site? Confused | :confused:

Well,

Other than the spammy external link... the tip/trick looks useful to me. I searched and there is only one other tip that mentions Set-ExecutionPolicy.

Both joined today. Both posted questions with identical titles, pointing to the same Reddit thread, within five minutes of each other.
