How to fix "you must ask an adult for permission to use Powershell" ?

Question

_{Tuesday, December 25, 2018 8:15 PM}

I keep getting a pop up upon login telling me I need to ask an adult for permission to use Powershell. It happens all the time on my laptop and just today it has followed me to my desktop. I have Microsoft Family set up with myself as the adult. There is another adult user who does not get this on either computer and two child accounts who also do not get it. What's going on with this message and how do I fix it?

Workaround:

Open this location in Explorer: C:\Windows\System32\AppLocker (possibly replace C: with the drive that has your Windows installed on it).

Delete the contents of the 'AppLocker' folder.

Besides, check this similar case for some ideas:
