Amateur computer science student here.
Trying to activate a virtual environment in powershell and I keep
getting the following error both when I start powershell or try to
activate the environment. The environment opens normally in CMD.
I've tried reinstalling to no avail. Not sure what to do so making a first post on StackOverflow.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Daniel

I need to activate a virtual environment in Windows Powershell. But, the guide i am using that to proceed my project tells me to use a command like this:
source venv-slither/bin/activate
In my project directory, in first, i installed virtualenv with:
pip3 install virtualenv
After that, I setup a virtual environment in folder ./venv-slither with:
source venv-slither/bin/activate
Problem emerges here. Whenever i run the last command i approaches to this message in Powershell:
source : The term 'source' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable
program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
At line:1 char:2
+ source venv-slither/bin/activate
+ ~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (source:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
I read some guide to eliminate this. They suggest using . instead source, but by this way the same error occurs. When, my Command is:
. venv-slither/bin/activate
The message is:
. : The term 'venv-slither/bin/activate' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct
and try again.

More over, when i change slashes direct:
. venv-slither\bin\activate
This message comes up:
. : The module 'venv-slither' could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module venv-slither'.

+ . venv-slither\bin\activate

I have these modules in my project directory: .bin, dot, findit, source.
Please help a beginner man in working with Windows Powershell.
I think you should use like this, within Windows PS:
venv-slither/Scripts/activate.ps1
After enabling the necessary execution policy for the current user with this command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser
I would return to previous policy with this command, after you finish your work, for safety:
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Undefined -Scope CurrentUser
There are other ways to set the execution temporarily. For example, I can set for the current PS's session by issuing this command:
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
* RemoteSigned or Unrestricted, you can refer to this link to view the details which scripts are or not allowed for each type of policy:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_execution_policies?view=powershell-7.1
Sorry for posting too late, I've just run into your post when found the same issue, tested myself and it worked.
When i run Get-PSRepository using Powershell ISE(x86) it shows me the source location and installation policy as trusted. The source location it shows is https://www.powershellgallery.com/api/v2
But when i run the same command using Powershell ISE without the x86 from my machine i get the below error:
Get-PSRepository : The 'Get-PSRepository' command was found in the module 'PowerShellGet', but the module
could not be loaded. For more information, run 'Import-Module PowerShellGet'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-PSRepository
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Get-PSRepository:String) [], CommandNotFoundException

Why powershell is displaying the two behaviours with two different ISE is it because of environment variable or what?
After using Install-Module to install powershell-yaml I had about a week of use before I came in one morning to it not loading YamlDotNet properly.
Now if I try to use ConvertFrom-Yaml before manually running Import-Module powershell-yaml I get the the following error:
PS C:\Users\user> "---" | ConvertFrom-Yaml
New-Object : Cannot find type [YamlDotNet.RepresentationModel.YamlStream]: verify that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

Previously (and on most systems) this worked fine. If I run a manual Import-Module before calling the function it works fine:
PS C:\Users\user> Import-Module powershell-yaml
PS C:\Users\user> "---" | ConvertFrom-Yaml
PS C:\Users\user>
Both my and a coworker's machines started this behavior at about the same time. This morning my system started working properly again, but his is still exhibiting the behavior. We haven't been able to duplicate it on other machines.
I've narrowed it down to a script referenced in Powershell-Yaml manifest's ScriptsToProcess not being called during autoload, but runs fine during a manual Import-Module. On working machines the script in ScriptsToProcess is run in both cases. As a workaround we can force a module load by putting an Import-Module in our profile, ideally we'd like to find a root cause.
Import-Module -Verbose doesn't help, because calling Import-Module first always works.
I try to start powershell as an external tool.
I want it to be run in the console windows of eclipse.
But it starts with empty console, and when I type and press return, I get:
Missing expression after unary opearator ‘-’.

You got misplaced quotes in the Arguments section.
-NoExit -"Command Set-Location ${project_loc}"
Try moving the quote after Command switch like so,
-NoExit -Command "Set-Location ${project_loc}"
Im trying to change the windows update settings in a remote server using powershell, but when i run the below commands it gives me an error.

Although when i run it locally on the server it works fine...
Could anyone please help me.
Does it work when you connect via Remote desktop and run the commands? It also depends on the bittnes. I don't know the Microsoft.Update.AutoUpdate, so I'm just guessing, but - is it available for x64 version of PowerShell? In other words if you run it locally in x64 version and x86, do you see the errors?
I am sorry, I could not find a real answer. What I found is this link which states that remote PS sessions can be used with SCCM 2012, but they could not with SCCM 2007.
This does not help you, but it seems that not all COM objects are compatible with remote PS sessions.
