Question: Every time I close my Windows 7 PC, I get a message that says there is a "long running script" that needs to be closed. How do I get rid of it?

Are you getting started with PowerShell? If so, this guide will help you to create and run your first script on Windows.

Uncheck a box next to an application to remove it from your start-up list. Restart your computer to run Windows 7 without the app running in the background.

And some programs you load manually long after the boot leave processes running even after you’ve closed them. Nevertheless, most Windows PCs load way too many programs at boot time.
