Difficulty in Powershell and following the instructions herein

The problem seems to be a “file not found” one.

So, please follow these steps:

1. Download the .ps1 file from here and save it any place you want.
2. Go to the folder you saved it, right click on the file, unblock it and then copy it [Ctrl-C]. If it’s saved in your Downloads folder, skip step 3
3. Then go to your Downloads folder and paste it [Ctrl-V] there.
4. Open Powershell as Administrator.
5. Type the command Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
6. Type the command cd $env:USERPROFILE\Downloads
7. Type the command .\RealtekAudioDriverIntegration.ps1

If everything fails, do the following:

1. Download the .ps1 file from here and save it any place you want in your C: drive.
2. Open Powershell as Administrator.
3. Type the command Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
4. Type the command dir C:\ "RealtekAudioDriverIntegration.ps1" -Recurse -ea 0 | Unblock-File
5. Type the command dir C:\ "RealtekAudioDriverIntegration.ps1" -Recurse -ea 0 | select -First 1 | % { & $_.FullName }

Then post the results here.

 

PowerShell randomly poping-up in tool bar

Hello,

Just to verify, do you have any scheduled tasks that uses Powershell? Scheduled tasks makes Powershell window appear periodically on your computer, therefore we suggest that you check the Task Scheduler. Here are the steps:

• 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.

If the issue still persist, we suggest that you run a Windows Defender scan to see if it will pick up any malware that the first scan missed.

Let us know the outcome.
