Does anyone know how to set a scheduled task to run in background using Windows Task Scheduler?

There doesn't seem to be any option开发者_如何学运维 to do this.

As noted by Mattias Nordqvist in the comments below, you can also select the radio button option "Run whether user is logged on or not". When saving the task, you will be prompted once for the user password. bambams noted that this wouldn't grant System permissions to the process, and also seems to hide the command window.

It's not an obvious solution, but to make a Scheduled Task run in the background, change the User running the task to "SYSTEM", and nothing will appear on your screen.

Assuming the application you are attempting to run in the background is CLI based, you can try calling the scheduled jobs using Hidden Start
