Exactly four poweshell processes open after one when I turn on the PC, and they start consuming a lot of ram after some time. I simply go to the task manager and close them and they don’t come again until I turn off the pc, there’s nothing in the task scheduler and the windows defender doesn’t detect anything on the pc, they just pop up randomly and it’s really annoying, how can I fix this?

Hello
See if this helps..

I sometimes see 3 to 4 black command boxes pop-up when the pc starts, also after a Windows Update.
they are MS startup tasks doing whatever they do, they are there for about 2 seconds and go.
sometimes they are there for a few more seconds, but never long enough to be able to read what they are doing.
I suspect yours will continue to occur until they get a chance to complete whatever they are trying to do.
how long have you let them run for?Comment

Did all of these, nothing workedOriginally posted by veeg
They pop up for 1 second, close and start running on background, I never let them run for too much time but after some minutes they start consuming 2gb of ram each and slowing down the pc and that’s when I close them. I’m pretty much always working so it’s impossible to let them run for too longOriginally posted by BruceComment

reboot the PC into Safe Mode and see if they re-occur.
either way, why not let them run, they appear to not be malware, so they’re something that the OS is trying to do.
turn your PC on and walk away for an hour, go have lunch, or leave it on over night.Comment
