Hello friends...
When I start the Windows 11 desktop, a large square appears at the top labeled "Power Shell." I can click the "X" on the screen, and it closes, everything seems fine. However, I'm unsure how to prevent it from opening every time I boot into Windows 11.
Many thanks,
mmaroid

The exact content inside that PowerShell box seems to be two possibilities: one relates to having PowerShell installed in the startup routine and the other suggests the presence of malware.

Thank you for your help USAFRet.... I installed malwarebytes as soon as the OS was installed and before I updated it . But I was unable to remove the local password.
Also, I was told that if I had a Microsoft account & and password, and I lost internet, but still had power to my house, that I would not be able to boot my computer to my Windows 11 desktop. Have I been misinformed?
With no way of removing the local password for my friend, and unable to figure out how to remove the Power Shell from launching when the Windows 11 desktop came up (it was not in my start up list), I gave up. I did a fresh re install of Windows 11, and all went well. Local account with no password. No Microsoft account, and no Power Shell launching when Windows 11 desktop comes up. All seem to run just great now.
I am installing the tools my friend would like (VLC Media Player, Chrome Firefox , LibreOffice) and a few others that he wants.
I am ready for this desktop to go away soon!
Thank you for your suggestions and help!

An Admin account needs a password. Even without one, it's an extremely risky approach. It's like leaving your car in a dangerous area, windows up, door open, and keys inside—hoping it stays safe.

So... MS Account, seldom used
Local Admin (password)
Local Standard (optional, no password required)

Yes, you were mistaken. These are the intended purposes for local accounts.
