Windows 10: Powershell

This post does not belong in "Windows settings."


There is no category to actually post this discussion to. For all the effort Microsoft is making to embrace command line utilities via powershell, you'd think the forums would include a category similar to, I don't know, "Command Line."


Any possibility of such a category? Or am I in the wrong part of the Microsoft Universe?

Edit: Not that it matters...I use both regularly. *Toast :toast:

 

PowerShell randomly poping-up in tool bar

Hello,

Just to verify, do you have any scheduled tasks that uses Powershell? Scheduled tasks makes Powershell window appear periodically on your computer, therefore we suggest that you check the Task Scheduler. Here are the steps:

• 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.

If the issue still persist, we suggest that you run a Windows Defender scan to see if it will pick up any malware that the first scan missed.

Let us know the outcome.
