Explanation

PowerShell scripts use the .ps1 file extension. To execute a PowerShell script, the file must have this extension and be run via the PowerShell interpreter (powershell.exe or pwsh.exe). .bat is for Windows Command Prompt batch scripts, .vbs is for VBScript, .sh is for Unix/Linux shell scripts, and .psd (actually .psd1) is a PowerShell data file used for module manifests, not executable scripts.
