'"Firebase cannot be loading because running scripts is disabled on this system", VSCode on Windows
I have installed the firebase tools, however whenever I try to initialize it in my rootfolder, using the terminal from Vscode, I receive the following error. Why is that?
Solution 1:[1]
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
install firebase globally
and then,
firebase login
firebase init
Solution 2:[2]
I would not recommend bypassing the execution policy on PowerShell, as it makes your system more vulnerable to malicious scripts.
Instead, simply delete the firebase.ps1 file at the location indicated by the error message and try running the command again.
Note: in case the above doesn't work, you might need to clear your npm cache by running npm cache clean --force.

Run the following at the terminal in VS Code (make sure the app is run with the option Running as Administrator as suggested by @MaylorTaylor)
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Then run the script in that same console.
Solution 4:[4]
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
This worked for me
Solution 5:[5]
Open Windows Power Shell as Administrator and then run the below command to change Execution Policy setting to RemoteSigned
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Now change directory to your project folder and run the following
firebase login
firebase init
Solution 6:[6]
Close cmd and powershell and VS Code. Then right click on VS code---RunAs Administrator and in the VS Code Terminal run the following command:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Then in the same VS Code cmd run:
firebase login
firebase init
This should solve your problem. Windows now comes with an extra layer of security to protect your OS environment from random scripts running in the background without admin privilege's. Most Random Scripts(From browser engines on unverified sites and applications) are also bad for your OS,unless you are running them yourself as an admin or as a developer,provided you know what you are doing. Firebase scripts are pretty safe.
Solution 7:[7]
Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
Run this in your current working directory, i.e where Firebase is initialized and run this command, worked for me.
Solution 8:[8]
Instead of setting Execution Policy. I ran windows terminal as administrator instead of VS code terminal and execute command without an issue.
Solution 9:[9]
Simply in VScode switch from PowerShell to cmd and type this command.
firebase login
And you will be redirected to your browser to allow Firebase CLI to access the account connected to your firebase project and then type this command.
firebase init
That should work
Solution 10:[10]
In cmd it works
firebase login
firebase init
Select project
Solution 11:[11]
If using VScode, installing the PowerShell extension by Microsoft will solve this issue.
