To prevent Windows PowerShell from automatically opening when you start your computer, you can check the following:
- Startup Programs: Open the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) and go to the "Startup" tab. Look for any entries related to PowerShell and disable them.
- Scheduled Tasks: Open the Task Scheduler by searching for it in the Start menu. Check if there are any scheduled tasks that trigger PowerShell to run at startup and disable them if necessary.
- Startup Folder: Check the Startup folder by navigating to
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup. If there is a shortcut for PowerShell, delete it. - System Configuration: Press
Win + R, typemsconfig, and hit Enter. In the System Configuration window, check the "Startup" tab for any entries related to PowerShell and uncheck them.
By following these steps, you should be able to stop Windows PowerShell from opening automatically on startup.
