Solved Ad for Windows PowerShell

Rboppy · May 27, 2025

Every time I reboot my computer I get a popup that looks like an advertisement, any way to turn this off?

You can disable the entire banner at the top by opening the Terminal's settings, and adding a -NoLogo switch to the command line for the Windows PowerShell profile.

It's not an ad. It's a notice that you are not on the most current version of Powershell. Based on the icon you're using Windows Powershell instead of Microsoft Powershell (aka powershell core).

You can remove it by editing the Windows powershell profile.

@pseymour my screen shot looks nothing like yours:

@neemobeer, following that link asks me to open JSON file which pops up a Windows asking me to open an app on my computer.

Your left side is collapsed. Click the three bars at the top.

Thanks, I think we're halfway there, I still get a PowerShell popup but no nag to install the latest version. I want to get rid of the popup.

Let us see your settings, and what you mean by popup.

This is the popup on my Desktop after a restart:

What settings are you referring to?

pseymour · May 27, 2025

There's no popup there, just a PowerShell window. Do you mean it's starting on its own?

Rboppy · May 27, 2025

Yes Sir!

Thanks, I disabled it in the task manager, DUH!

There ya go. I was going to suggest the venerable Autoruns tool, but you sorted it.

Autoruns - Sysinternals
