### ❗Error: "Running Scripts is Disabled on this System"❗

Click Here

If you encounter the error **"Running Scripts is Disabled on this System"**, it means that PowerShell's execution policy is preventing scripts from running for security reasons.

To resolve this, follow these steps:

1. **Open PowerShell as Administrator**

2. **Change the Execution Policy**
Run the following command in the PowerShell window to allow locally-created scripts to run:

```ps1
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
```

### Privacy and Security

This script is designed to enhance privacy and security by disabling certain tracking and data-collection features of Google Chrome. Use it to lock down Chrome's settings for a more private browsing experience. Be cautious when running this on a shared machine or environment, as it modifies system-wide registry keys.
