Description
Steps to reproduce
PS C:\Users\rfull> $currentPrincipal = New-Object Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal([Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent())
PS C:\Users\rfull> $currentPrincipal.IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole]::Administrator)
True
PS C:\Users\rfull> PowerShellGet\Install-Module posh-git -Scope CurrentUser -AllowPrerelease -Force

| Administrator rights are required to install or update. Log on to the computer with an account that
| has Administrator rights, and then try again, or install by adding "-Scope CurrentUser" to your
| command. You can also try running the Windows PowerShell session with elevated rights (Run as
| Administrator).Separately but maybe something is busted on my machine:
PS C:\Users\rfull> Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Confirm
Confirm
Are you sure you want to perform this action?
Performing the operation "Set-ExecutionPolicy" on target "RemoteSigned".
