Powershell sudden high ram usage

After some time of turning on the pc, Windows PowerShell pops up for an instant and disappears instantly. After that the Windows PowerShell keeps running in the background and takes too much ram causing the pc to work slow. It takes more than 4 gb of ram. It also takes high amount of cpu usage. Is my pc being hacked? How to solve this problem?

 

Powershell sudden high ram usage

Hi there!. i have a laptop with windows 10. first time it was 7 but in august i changed to 10 and first thing i noticed powershell was using just 10-20mb of ram that i didnt care about, BUT after i turned off windows security due its 300mb ram usage (iam 4gb ram so every mb is important for my work). i installed some vpn's to open telegram links of homework (internet issues) so some of them worked and some didn't but after that i noticed powershell ram usage became almost 1gb everytime i boot! i freaked about it but because i heard hackers are using powershell. so its been almost a week of this situation but i always end powershell tasks on startup but i was thinking of a solution if could.
