According to Microsoft Tech Support, it might be a problem with Execution Policy Settings. To fix it, you should try executing the Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process

OR IF this problem is not gone Then please read this answer

To activate

.\<Virtual-Name>\Scripts\activate

or

.\<Virtual-Name>\Scripts\activate.bat

FOR deactivating venv

.\<Virtual-Name>\Scripts\deactivate.bat

or

.\<Virtual-Name>\Scripts\deactivate

or

deactivate

If you got this error while activating the virtual Environment:

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.

This means your Execution Policy is Restricted SO. To get rid of this error you can run this command.

In Command Prompt:

powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

In Powershell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Replace `<Virtual-Name>` with your virtual environment name

Execute following command :

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted CurrentUser

If you use this command then you will not face this issue again but if you use below command :

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process

Then you need to execute it again and again.
