    Windows PowerShell opens up at Startup

    Hi Richard,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community. Let me assist you.

    Windows PowerShell might be one of the Startup programs on your computer. All the Startup programs are launched at Startup by Windows. I suggest you to check if the
    Windows PowerShell program is enabled on the Startup. To check the Startup programs press
    Ctrl + Shift + Esc Keys together and open Task Manager. Go to the
    Startup tab and check if Windows PowerShell is listed. If it is listed under the Startup programs, select it and click on
    Disable. Further restart the computer to check if the issue persists.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks you for posting your reply and update.

    Conhost.exe a completely legitimate executable process as long as it’s running from the system32 folder, and is signed by
    Microsoft. You may enable it. Refer to the steps suggested in the previous post, you can disable any startup service individually by clicking and selecting it. Follow the steps to
    disable Windows PowerShell and Enable the rest.

    Hope this information is helpful. Please do let us know if you need further assistance, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Powershell keeps opening at startup even though it is disabled in settings

    Powershell on Startup?

    Whenever I boot up Windows, the Powershell window appears for a split second and disappears (but it remains running in the background). I don't know why but I found out that I have 2 instances of Powershell appearing in my list of Startup apps, both have
    high startup impact.

    Is Powershell supposed to run on startup? What'll happen if I just disable it?
