You can use:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Undefined -Scope LocalMachine

or:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Undefined -Scope CurrentUser

You should enter these commands as Administrator.

I recommend you add some context as to what these commands do, especially what the 'Undefined' execution policy means. – Joery Sep 07 '21 at 16:30

There's an answer that was referenced here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/59244943/11518388

Alternatively, you could also edit the properties for Visual Studio Code (right-click on the shortcut, click properties) and force it to always run as an administrator.
