The error indicates that PowerShell's execution policy is preventing the `npx` command from running. This happens because script execution is disabled or restricted by default on your system.
### Steps to Resolve:
1. **Check Current Execution Policy**:
Run the following command to see your current execution policy:
```powershell
Get-ExecutionPolicy
```
It might return something like `Restricted`.
2. **Set Execution Policy to Unrestricted or RemoteSigned**:
To allow scripts to run, change the execution policy:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
```
- `RemoteSigned` allows locally created scripts to run and requires downloaded scripts to be signed by a trusted publisher.
- If `RemoteSigned` doesn't work, you can use `Unrestricted` as a temporary measure:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
```
3. **Confirm the Change**:
Verify the new execution policy:
```powershell
Get-ExecutionPolicy
```
4. **Retry the Command**:
Run your `npx create-next-app@latest` command again.
### Additional Notes:
- You only need to set this once unless the policy is reset.
- If you're working in a corporate environment, you might need administrator privileges or approval to change this setting.
- Avoid setting the execution policy to `Unrestricted` permanently as it can pose a security risk.
