You need to change the PowerShell execution policy to allow scripts to run. Here's how to do it:

1. Open PowerShell as Administrator:

- Press Win + X and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

2. Set the Execution Policy:

- Run this command to allow local scripts to run:

```powershell

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

```

3. Confirm the Change:

- Type Y and press Enter to confirm.

4. Activate the Virtual Environment:

- Close and reopen PowerShell or your VS Code terminal.

- Activate your virtual environment with:

```powershell

.\env\Scripts\Activate.ps1

```

This should resolve the issue and allow you to activate your virtual environment.
