Windows 10: Cannot stop powershell from launching at start up

I've done a few google searches and nothing seems to help. At start up, I have 2 blue screens of powershell displaying: 1. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe2. C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exeYesterday, I changed them from 'enabled' to 'disabled' in the Task Manager startup screen. No change. I then searched for the instances

How to change the WinX menu, including Powershell/Powershell (Admin)

This part intrigues me. As suggested earler, please post a screenshot of the error message. Also, please clarify/test the follwoing:

1. Can you start PowerShell from the Start Menu?
2. If you navigate to %localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows\WinX\Group3, does PowerShell launch from the shortcuts there?
3. If #1 works & #2 doesn't, compare (& post) the target text from each shortcuts properties. For the Start Menu shortcut, right-click & select Open file location to navigate to the Start Menu folder.

PowerShell does not launch bash.exe

All,

I
am new and trying to learn.

My
issue: When I enter bash.exe in a PowerShell cmd window, my PC does not launch the Ubuntu command. I think Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is not in my $ENVath.

Troubleshooting
I have done:

1. Reading
   on the Internet, I can test my $ENVath by typing the following a PowerShell cmd:
   

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
where.exe calc

C:\Windows\System32\calc.exe

It returned the follow:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
calc

(And the calculator displayed
on my PC)

1. Reading
   on the Internet, I can also test my $ENVath by typing the following a PowerShell cmd:
   

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>
where.exe wsl

It returned the follow:

INFO: Could not find
files for the given pattern(s).

Here
is the output of $ENVath

PS
C:\WINDOWS\system32> $ENVath

C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;C:\Program
Files (x86)\Calibre2\;C:\Program Files\PuTTY\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\bin;C:\Users\user-lenovo595\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps

Question:

What
would you suggest as my next step to fix the issue?

Thank
you,

 

Applications still showing on Start menu after powershell deletion


Hi,

I've used powershell to remove some apps (like Xbox games).

On one account, it cleaned up the start menu just fine.

Second account, they were showing on the start menu, so I ran powershell again and verified everything was gone that I wanted, but Xbox is still showing on the menu list. *Not* as a tile, but in the "All Apps" list. I have also tried looking at the Start Menu in File Explorer for that User and can not see the App listed.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
