To fix this you need to change the execution policy by this simple command:

PS c:> Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

then reply Y(yes) to the popup to change setting. Now try running again the import command, it will run:

PS c:> Import-Module AzureRM

this worked for me , i hope it helps you too

The answer is right there in the error message, though it's not copied completely from the Powershell console:

Import-Module : ... its operation is blocked by software restriction policies, such as those created by using Group Pol

This means that a domain SRP prevents you loading the module. Contact your domain administrator to discuss SRP settings.
