I'm going nuts over here! Every time I boot up my PC, I'm greeted by this annoying Windows PowerShell popup that says:
"Windows PowerShell
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Install the latest PowerShell for new features and improvements! https://aka.ms/PSWindows"
Any idea how to get rid of it?

If you can’t find anything in those places, you might want to look in `C:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0`. Sometimes scripts or tasks can be lurking there, causing the popup at startup.
Try checking the startup folder. Open File Explorer and type `shell:startup` in the address bar. If there's a PowerShell shortcut there, delete it. Also, check Task Manager under the Startup tab to see if PowerShell is listed. That could be what's causing it to pop up.
I checked the startup folder, but it says it's empty.
I didn't find PowerShell in the Task Manager's startup list either.
