Windows: Prevent the Scheduled Task from creating a popup window

[alexzorin]

Apparently, the Scheduled Task on Windows causes a console to pop up for a fraction of a second.

If there's an way in renew-up.ps1 to prevent it appearing at all, we should do it.

Thank you for windows apache servers it's really distracting.
Interrupting the windows focus or current work to open a window for a split second.

Just reinstalled certbot and got the popup... had to find the thread again to fix it
Hope they fix it eventually, really annoying

TEMPORARY FIX :
start menu > type Task Scheduler > double click on Certbot Renew Task > put these settings in conditions task

Is annoying.

PowerShell/PowerShell#3028

if you want to run this when user is logged in without highest privileges. just dont use the arguments box. put everything immediately after powershell.exe and make sure that -windowstyle hidden is first.

you can avoid all popups by deploying this little tool to your target machines and use powershellw.exe / pwshw.exe instead
