    Powershell High CPU usage, please help


    I'm not knowledge with software to make it clear.

    Powershell has been opening on start up and using a huge portion of cpu, bottlenecking my pc pretty hard. The only thing I did that maybe triggered this is that I updated Java and some Windows 10 updates. Please help I cannot make this stop from running on start up everytime, it's been driving me nuts.

    Powershell and high cpu usage

    I have a Toshiba Satellite running Win 10 with the latest update and Norton 360. At times programmes are unresponsive for some seconds. After startup but without running any programmes Task Manager shows spikes up to 100% of very high CPU and disk usage.
    This is mainly caused by powershell 32 bit which starts, spikes and disappears all the time. I have disabled powershell but it has not stopped it appearing and disappearing from the list of processes. Is this normal? I might be incorrectly attributing
    unresponsive programmes to powershell activities.

    I have scanned, using Norton, for security issues but nothing has been revealed.

    There was a similar question on this topic some years ago but the thread closed before a solution was posted. Can anyone enlighten me please?

    high cpu usage

    After downloading windows 10, anytime I run any programs, I get high CPU usage. It does not matter whether it is google chrome, task manager, playing games, whatever. Anything seems to spike the CPU usage. I have already run malwarbytes and my antivirus
    programs and find no viruses. Any suggestions? Thanks.
