    Multiple instances of powershell running, using up almost all of my RAM


    Pretty much just the title, multiple instances of powershell are running for no reason and taking up all my RAM. I have a feeling that i somehow screwed up and installed a crypto miner. I saw a different thread of this exact same thing happening here so i already installed FRST and uploaded my zipped FRST.txt and Addition.txt files to https://drive.google.com/file/d/15PsrUBRdB7QKxqpxKfMV5CcJyl4RXqcF/view?usp=share_link.

    request on multiple run

    I get the same results when 0.4.4 is running and trying to run from a shortcut.

    When you minimize the first instance it will load multiple instances there after.

    Multiple instances of Windows Explorer

    So in the Processes tab, under Apps, however many Windows Explorers I actually have open is however many it will list, and expanding will list the specific folder that is open, there is no problem there. The problem is when you scroll down to Windows processes, that's where all the multiple instances are. Right now it's only showing 7 but that is because I restarted my computer a couple hours ago, I've counted as many as 40+ before.

    Multiple instances of Windows Explorer

    No, do not uninstall them.

    1) Restart your computer, go to Task Manager (Check how many Windows Explorers there are real quick)
    2) Look at all the other apps that are running, here's some examples of some of your 3rd party apps from your pictures above: Google Chrome, iTunes 5, Malwarebytes, Telegram (I don't know what that is), Autohotkey, [you may have more down that list]

    If you could post multiple screenshots of everything listed there (yes it might be a hastle, but I can point out the apps that you can End Task. Wait one question too... I see you have a Restart button. Mine shows "End Task"
