I got a new laptop yesterday (Lenovo i7, 16GB Ram, Win 11 Home). Battery life seems pretty poor, so I checked settings, and it shows Powershell as using 46% of the battery. I have checked Task Manager, and Powershell keeps popping up briefly for around a second or so continually. I have used GPedit to prohibit Powershell from running (Powershell.exe; Powershell_ise.exe; Pwsh.exe) as well as disabling it using the Windows Features dialogue box, however nothing seems to stop it - after each reboot, there it is, popping up for a second or so continuously according to Task Manager.
I have thought about just un-installing Powershell, but it's not showing up in the list of programmes that can be removed. Any thoughts?
I should perhaps add, the only software I've added to the laptop so far is "Start 11 v2" from Stardock.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Cliff
