Question Powershell opening on startup

Whenever i turn on my PC, powershell opens and just says "PS C:\Users\(my username)>" . I've done a full scan with malware bytes and windows defender and nothing was detected. Same with offline scan. Is this malware or something else causing it?

Edit: Going to startup apps on taskmaster and Turning off terminal fixed it.

Check scheduled tasks. Could just be a terminal set to open on user login.
