<![CDATA[Opera GX is opening Windows PowerShell when I open it.]]>Hello.

I installed Opera GX on a fresh Windows 11 install yesterday, and I can't help but notice that each time I open Opera GX, it takes a second to become responsive, and only becomes responsive after PowerShell opens briefly and closes right after. I have been using Opera GX on my laptop for some time now and I have never seen it open PowerShell before, nor have I noticed a delay in responsiveness upon opening it.

I ran a Malwarebytes scan, however it didn't find anything malicious, although now whenever I open Opera GX and it goes to run PowerShell, I now notice that Malwarebytes is blocking whatever is going on with PowerShell.

Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can prevent this? This issue is kind of annoying.
