-A list of PowerShell scripts for configuring and debloating Windows
+A list of PowerShell scripts for configuring and debloating Windows.
+
+## First run
+
+To allow the execution of scripts, but only for the local user, run the following command in a PowerShell window:
+
+```powershell
+Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Force
+```
+
+Scripts downloaded from the Internet must be signed by a trusted entity, while local scripts can be executed without restrictions. This setting applies exclusively to the current user and does not affect the execution policies of other users on the system.
