PS C:\> Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

        Scope ExecutionPolicy
        ----- ---------------
MachinePolicy    Unrestricted

Actual behavior

PS C:\> Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

        Scope ExecutionPolicy
        ----- ---------------
MachinePolicy       Undefined

@TravisEz13 or @PaulHigin is this expected behavior? I am not familiar with GPO

[PaulHigin]

@TravisEz13 can you please take a look?

[TravisEz13]

Please install the PowerShell 7 GPO and set that and see if you still have this issue:
