Windows 10: power shell terminal pop-up at windows 10 startup

Hello, I have a Dell 15.6 inch touch screen, 2 in 1 laptop with a seventh generation core i7 processor. It runs windows 10 home 21H1. Recently at startup, the terminal window of power shell started to pop-up C:\windows\system32\windows power shell\V1.0\powershell.exe. Nothing runs in this window and I can close it. This is obviously not normal and I want to stop it from poping up at startup, since it also slows down Windows startup. From my initial search in the Microsoft community forums, it appeared that it has occued to others. I have not tried to test the solutions that were offe

windows shell experience host terminated

I have perhaps a clue that may help you (or Microsoft). I first started seeing windows shell experience host closed from time to time when my PC started from sleep (event id 1002, closed because it stopped interacting
with Windows). But as I traced the events further, this was ALWAYS preceded by windows shell experience host closed upon PC going to sleep (event id 2484. terminated because it took too long to suspend).

Further examination and experiments point to this as a solution:

From Power Shell Admin:

Get-appxpackage -all *shellexperience* -packagetype bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmetadata\appxbundlemanif

The problem returned after a improper shutdown (electrical outage), and the above command resolved it again.

My problem does not appear to be related to the OS version/patch, corruption, drivers, etc. Microsoft can weigh in, but I suggest trying this command in power shell before any time consuming or other risky updates. One last note, I rebooted after issuing
the power shell command, which may or may not be necessary.

 

Can't get GPU-Z to start with Windows 8.1 startup

I'm not sure how to do that. Could you list the steps for a noob?

 

Wrong path for Windows 10 shell startup?

Welcome to TenForums @rpjd

Yes, it should be, and it is for me. That's the personal 'per user' startup folder. No idea how /Word/ got inserted, it's probably just this one user profile that's corrupted. Try as a test creating a new user and see if that has the correct shell:startup behaviour.

nearly, the full name is shell:Common Startup
*Arrow Shell Commands List for Windows 10

That's the 'All users' startup folder. Does that also get a superfluous /Word/ inserted?
