Windows powershell keeps closing my stuff?

Question

Whenever I'm playing a game in full screen, if I take long enough or do a specific thing, windows powershell opens and then the game closes. Is it supposed to do that? If not, how should I fix this :')

Hello,

This is not normal. PowerShell itself is not something that “pops up on schedule and shuts down your game.”

Open Windows Security Center → Virus & threat protection → Scan options → select “Microsoft Defender Offline scan” (or at least run a “Full scan” first). This step is crucial, because “PowerShell pop-ups + abnormal behavior” are often signs of script-based malware.
