I don't know why but Windows Powershell is opening upon startup of my PC. It's not even running any commands! I am concerned and annoyed! Is this normal and if yes how do I disable it?

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.

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.
