4. Press Enter
5. Paste this entire line and press Enter:

Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Unblock-File; powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\start-node.ps1

6. Wait until it says Ready
7. Open Chrome/Edge to:  http://127.0.0.1:3000
8. Leave the PowerShell window open

============================================================
B — Turn off Smart App Control
============================================================
1. Settings → Privacy & security → Windows Security
2. App & browser control
3. Smart App Control → Off
