So something is making PowerShell start randomly, it pops up for a split second and dissapear. It also 'take' a window so I have to press mouse once to mark a window/app I was using again if you know what I mean.

Also, while that happen, I can hear my fans running up a bit faster for like 10-15 seconds and I can see PowerShell is taking most of CPU usage in Task manager (not like 100% ofc, but it's a first on a list while PC is at idle or browsing etc).

I reinstalled Windows 11, formatted whole boot SSD and it still happens so I excluded viruses and similar stuff.

I also uninstalled NZXT Cam software, I felt like it could be a problem but it isn't.
 

PC Specs:

Ryzen 9 5900x
Gigabyte 3070 Vision
B550 Vision D-P
4x8gb g.skill ram
1x m.2 boot drive & 2x 4tb HDD's
 

Any ideas? Any way to find what's starting PowerShell?

Thanks!

P.s. sorry about my english not being perfect.

Something you've installed is running a script. I've noticed the same with the AMD Chipset drivers installed that AMDUpdater.exe occasionally starts up and closes in a terminal window when it checks for updates. Fans ramping up is just a product of your fan curve.
