Windows 10: Can I turn off or uninstall PowerShell?

The amount of times it pops up for a millisecond is annoying. I get worried if it is a malware but it's been going on for months with no suspicious activity. I'm confident it is that PowerShell running by itself and it has interrupted my activities like games at the worse time. Quick googling said it can act as security but I don't know how well and I'm considering of keeping it closed.
