    Windows PowerShell keeps on opening after startup.


    Every time a turn on my computer, Windows PowerShell keeps on trying to open. It tries apx 5 times and it's fine then, since I close it every time, but it's annoying and I don't know why is it doing that. This started happening a few weeks ago out of nowhere. It's disabled in the startup menu, deleted from the folder and nothing I've tried so far worked.

    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.

    Windows PowerShell opens up at Startup

    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.
