Did you check the WindowsStyle in PowerShell parameter

Hi farismalaeb

I already tried putting "-windowstyle minimized/hidden " under $Arguments written like following:
$Argument = "-windowstyle minimized/hidden -file "Z:\Applications\...\"

As I already mentioned the only thign that happend was a shorter Flash of the window

  Oh yea, sorry, I was looking through the code.
  I agree with you, I even try it with CMD and the same thing happened, I try to use the cmd internal command start /min it successfully executed PowerShell in minimized state, but cmd when it starts, it flashes for 1 sec and then disappears, then Powershell executed in min state.
  I also set the scheduled task to be hidden but still the same, 1-sec flashes and then disappear.
  if you want it completely invisible, then it seems that you will need to use VBS.
