Windows 10: Is powershell causing my PC to have problems?

I think I have a virus or malware involving powershell. When I startup my PC my monitor always displays 3 windows of DOS running powershell for a few seconds then disappears. Afterwards, I like to play games and surf the web on my PC so sometimes during those times it comes up again for 1-2 seconds then goes away but whats annoying about it is that it minimizes what I am doing everytime, I did help with this a little by putting full screen borderless in my games but it is still annoying. I tried searching online for viruses relating to Powershell but I basically got nothing. Anyone know whats

:)

 

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:

Hi Fabian,

Scheduled tasks that use Powershell can cause the Powershell window to appear periodically on your computer. We suggest that you check the Task Scheduler.

• Click on Start.
• In the search bar, type Task Scheduler and click on
  Task Scheduler in the results.
• Under Active Tasks, check for any tasks that use Powershell and the scheduled time.

Malware can also cause this issue. We suggest that you use Windows Defender or a third-party security software to scan your system.

Keep us updated with the results.
