For whatever reason a new task in the task scheduler called D B scheduler is set to start up windows powershell every 10 minutes and everytime I try to delete, edit, or end the task it comes back. Pretty sure it comes back after an hour as there are other tasks that I am suspicious of restarting the D B scheduler if it stops running. Very frustrating as everytime powershell boots up it kicks me out of whatever game I am playing. I had looked up reasons why and one of the solves was to do a clean boot with 1/2 of the starting programs and if it doesnt pop up powershell anymore to continue halving the programs until I find the one causing the issue. Anybody know if there is an easier way? I am afraid I will mess something up permanently in my computer.
 
so you have gone into Task Scheduler, right clicked it and selected Disable?
if it comes back, something you are running is re-scheduling that event, it'll be the last thing you run after disabling the event, like playing a game, so note down what you do and keep checking when the event re-appears.

going through msconfig and stopping half the programs is a good start but probably pointless if the event is getting launched from a 3rd party program that you are using.

from a quick Google search, it seems to be Java related.
what's the most recent software you installed?
 
latest windows 10 update as far as I know was the last thing I downloaded other than official roblox fps unlocker which has been vetted and used by bunches of youtubers so that being the cause is a stretch but possible
 
You can use as autoruns to disable - delete.
Autoruns and search for anything starting with windows related to DB Scheduler; then disable it, then reboot.
