can't invoke yarn after installing with npm

I just got a upgraded my laptop and installed yarn via npm

and for some some reason when I try to invoke yarn --v it throws,

yarn : File C:\Users\mattj\AppData\Roaming\npm\yarn.ps1 cannot be loaded because running scripts is disabled on this
system. For more information, see about_Execution_Policies at https:/go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=135170.

+ yarn --version
+ ~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [], PSSecurityException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnauthorizedAccess

although, when i run yarn.cmd --v

it works fine?

    returns restricted

    I fixed it by running this in powershell:

    set-executionpolicy remotesigned

    then pressed

    a

    and it works
