I'm receiving the following group policy error when I try to run NPM scripts in my project:
PS C:\Users\reir8p\code\whiteboard\frontend> npm run start
> [email protected] start
> ng serve
This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator.
If I execute the command directly, I do not receive any errors.
PS C:\Users\reir8p\code\whiteboard\frontend> ng serve
\ Generating browser application bundles... {works as expected}
The relevant lines of my package.json file is:
{
"name": "whiteboard",
"version": "0.0.0",
"scripts": {
"start": "ng serve",
},
...
I am able to successfully execute > npm run start from "Windows PowerShell" as an administrator. I haven't been able to find any relevant sections in my Windows security policies.
I get the same error with other NPM scripts as well. I also received a similar "This program is blocked..." error when trying to install Anaconda, which I think might be related.
Has anyone else received a similar error or know where I should look to troubleshoot? Thank you.
In our case Applocker blocked the execution.
Please check the Windows Eventlog (Event viewer/Applications and Services Logs/Microsoft/Windows/AppLocker/MSI and Scripts).
