High CPU Usage When Launching PowerShell on Windows Server

Hi  encountered an issue where simply launching a PowerShell terminal on a Windows server causes the CPU to spike to 100%? We're currently experiencing this behaviour on a windows server. No scripts...

    Hello Khaled,

    Monitoring Windows servers with PowerShell in SL1 will have an impact, depending on the resources on the end device. If manually opening a PowerShell terminal causes the CPU to spike, then it is expected the same would occur when SL1 attempts to collect data via PowerShell. 

    As this is not an issue with SL1 specifically, please work with the server administrator or the vendor to resolve the CPU utilization issue.
