Why Is PowerShell 32-bit Using So Much CPU?

Asked By CuriousGamer87 On

I noticed that PowerShell 32-bit is occasionally using around 30% of my CPU while I'm just checking out Roblox. Sometimes it appears in Task Manager, and other times it doesn't. I'm worried it might be malware since my PC is relatively new and I'm concerned about it possibly mining Bitcoin while I'm gaming. The CPU usage isn't maxing out, which is a relief, but I want to make sure everything's okay. How can I verify that it's not malware or anything suspicious?

You can check Task Manager and add the 'Path' column. This will show you which script PowerShell is running when it spikes in CPU usage. Once you identify the script, it’ll be easier for others to help you determine whether it’s something malicious or a legitimate process.
