    Command Prompt And PowerShell Run Automatically On Reboot


    The last 3 times I've rebooted, I notice that the first thing to run is CMD.exe open window and if I do not immediately stop it, it launches I suspect command prompt lauches it PowerShell which runs a script open window and they both will close.I also suspect this is a virus trying to circumvent my VPN which I use religiously. Nothing else seems to be going on after they run.I cannot locate in Startup anything that launches the Command Prompt.Where else can I look for why this automatically runs?I used Windows 10 Pro with the most recent release and updates.

    PowerShell instead of Commandline in Creators Update

    Interestingly enough my personal laptop just got the update...and still has Command Prompt listed, not PowerShell...

    Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

    Powershell or Command prompt !

    Good morning, I use SCANNOW occassionally going into Command prompt etc. I have just been reading that using it with Powershell is better because it is a more powerful tool would you agree ? Is there anything else you would suggest using with Powershell to keep my laptop running smoothly etc. I have run various health checks over the months to try and speed things up, along with start up programs and apps running in the background etc etc. !

    Regards Brian

    Command Prompt And PowerShell Run Automatically On Reboot

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?
