Windows 10: PowerShell popping up when I start Windows.

Hi! Every time I start up Windows, PowerShell will pop up. When I try to close it, it freezes for 5-10 seconds then closes. A few minutes later, my antivirus says, "powershell.exe has been moved to Virus Chest. Reason - Command line detection" then a few minutes later my antivirus says, "We blocked powershell.exe Reason - Command line detection" When I open up my Virus Chest, PowerShell isn't there and it seems like there is no virus. This happens every time I start up Windows. Please help!

Windows powershell randomly popping up.

Hi Fabian,

Scheduled tasks that use Powershell can cause the Powershell window to appear periodically on your computer. We suggest that you check the Task Scheduler.

• 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.

Malware can also cause this issue. We suggest that you use Windows Defender or a third-party security software to scan your system.

Keep us updated with the results.

 

Powershell pops up at startup

Powershell window pops up on startup and has to be removed via task manager or timeout. It's disabled in the start menu and I cannot delete it. Some posts suggest this indicates a malware infection, but all scans are negative.

 

Powershell pop up

Powershell keeps popping up when computer starts up. I have tried it on a new account and the pop up did not appear. Do i have to perform a clean boot to resolve the issue?





Above is a picture of running tasks after i have disabled powershell but it still pops up when computer starts up.

Any suggestions?
