Is it possible to run a Powershell script when you run Powershell? As in, double click the Powershell icon and open the window. Is there some type of "auto-run" setting somewhere?

45 You can start PowerShell with the /nologo argument to disable the message. powershell.exe /nologo This argument can be added to the PowerShell profile in the Windows Terminal settings.
