Microsoft defines RemoteSigned as "Requires that all scripts and configuration files downloaded from the Internet are signed by a trusted publisher. The default execution policy for Windows server computers."


Resolution

To set the remote execution policy to RemoteSigned:

1. Open Windows PowerShell with Run as Administrator

This post describes how to fix the error "This app will now restart to free up more memory" which can occur when using apps such as Netflix on an LG TV after just a few minutes of use. Resolution To resolve the issue, unplug the TV then press the on/off button for 10 seconds.  Wait a further 20 seconds then plug the TV back in and turn it back on. Apps should now run without the error. Edit: The on/off button on my LG TV is directly under the standby light on the bottom of the TV. Edit: I didn't have to do this myself but one person who has left a comment said that clearing all browsing data worked for them.  I have written a post explaining how to do this: LG TV Clear All Browsing History Data . Edit: A few other people have also suggested turning off quick start in settings (and if it's already off, turn it on then off again).  I have written a post explaining how to do this: LG TV turn off Quick Start in settings Related Posts -  LG TV delete/rem...

In this post, I describe how to permanently stop Windows Update from running on Windows Server 2025 . On a test server, you may not want Windows Update to run because it consumes CPU resource . I recently discovered that disabling the Windows Update service does not stop Windows updates as the service can re-enable itself e.g. the service status switches from Disabled to Manual when you open Windows Update settings . Resolution To permanently stop Windows Update service: 1. Create a new user account e.g. windowsupdate 2. Change the Windows Update service to Log On as this account The service will now now fail to start and Windows update will be unable to run.
