I recently installed Windows 11, and while playing Hollow Knight, I noticed that PowerShell suddenly opened and started typing on its own. I closed PowerShell right away without seeing what it was typing. I've checked the task scheduler and event viewer, but I haven't found anything suspicious. What could be causing this, and how can I check for malware?

Could it be that AMD’s auto updater is running in the background? Some users report that it can open up a Command Prompt-like window sometimes. Just something to consider!
You can use the "Get-History" command in PowerShell to see past commands that have been executed. Additionally, running the "Get-PSReadLineOption" command might help you find where the execution history is stored. This might give you some clues about what happened!
Thanks, I'll try that out.
Just a heads up, if you're making changes to your BIOS settings or disk setup, always back up your data first to avoid losing anything important. It's better to be safe! Check out this FAQ thread for more info on Windows 11 issues.
Maybe, I have never had this happen before.
