    Suspicious task in task scheduler - Windows 11


    I recently noticed a PowerShell window appearing on my desktop on Windows 11 insider preview 23545After some searching, it appeared to be related to a task in the scheduler. The name of the task seems odd and it is running something in PowerShell, however I do not know how to figure this out. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you. I pasted the XML below of task.<Task xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windows/2004/02/mit/task" version="1.2"><RegistrationInfo><Date>2023-09-22T17:01:04.65-07:00</Date><Author>jakef</Author><Description>ja
