If you’re a Windows user, you may have experienced a situation where the Windows PowerShell pops up when you restart your computer. This can be a frustrating issue, especially if you’re not familiar with PowerShell or don’t know how to fix the problem. Fortunately, there are a few easy ways to address this issue and get your computer back to normal.

1. Disable Fast Startup

One of the main reasons why the Windows PowerShell keeps popping up on restart is fast startup. This feature, which is designed to improve boot times, may cause certain programs to launch automatically when the computer is restarted. To disable fast startup, follow these steps:

– Go to the Control Panel and select Power Options.

– Click on Choose what the power buttons do.

– Click on Change settings that are currently unavailable.

– Scroll down and uncheck the box next to Turn on fast startup (recommended).

– Click on Save changes and restart your computer.

After your computer restarts, check to see if the Windows PowerShell still pops up. If it does, move on to the next step.

2. Disable Startup Programs

Another possible cause of the Windows PowerShell popping up on restart is a startup program that’s set to run automatically. To disable startup programs, follow these steps:

– Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to open the Task Manager.

– Click on the Startup tab.

– Select the program that’s causing the problem and click on Disable.

– Restart your computer.

If the Windows PowerShell still pops up after disabling the startup program, move on to the next step.

3. Run SFC Scan

If there are corrupt system files on your computer, the Windows PowerShell may pop up on restart. To fix this issue, you can run an SFC (System File Checker) scan. Here’s how:

– Press the Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).

– Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.

– Wait for the scan to complete (it may take a while).

– Restart your computer.

After your computer restarts, check to see if the Windows PowerShell still pops up. If it does, move on to the next step.

4. Run DISM Scan

If the SFC scan didn’t fix the problem, you can try running a DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) scan. This will help repair any issues with the operating system. Here’s how:

– Press the Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).

– Type DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and press Enter.

– Wait for the scan to complete (it may take a while).

– Restart your computer.

After your computer restarts, check to see if the Windows PowerShell still pops up. If it does, move on to the next step.

5. Reset Your Windows User Account

If the above steps don’t fix the issue, you may need to reset your Windows user account. This will remove any corrupted files and settings that may be causing the problem. Here’s how:

– Go to the Control Panel and select User Accounts.

– Click on Manage another account.

– Select the user account that’s causing the problem.

– Click on Delete the account.

– Follow the prompts to delete the account and its data.

– Restart your computer.

– Create a new user account and log in.

After creating a new user account, check to see if the Windows PowerShell still pops up. If it doesn’t, you’ve fixed the problem.
