I primarily use my computer for checking/writing emails, searching the internet, accessing cloud-based spreadsheets & documents, watching videos and downloading some small files, but nothing too technical - can I disable PowerShell on Windows 10? Does it affect the speed of your computer at all?

PowerShell 2.0 is the next generation of the PowerShell command processor. Even if you don't know what that means, some of your software could be relying on it. You could end up relying on it too if you are told to execute a command to fix a problem. It has zero effect on your computer's speed.

See BulldogXX's reply, and let me ask why you would want to do that. There is no advantage to doing it.
Thanks for the advice. I obviously wint delete it just in case just wasn't sure what it did and its relevance!
