Are there any arguments in the Task-Scheduler (under $Argument) to start the PS window minimized WITHOUT using a .vbs-Script?

So far i tried putting "-WindowStyle minimized/hidden" as an Argument, only thing that happened was a shorter flash of the window.

Schulzi ,

From about_Powershell.exe try

It isn't clear from your message that you tried only -WindowStyle Hidden.  The string "minimized/hidden" is not a valid value.  Perhaps you meant minimized | hidden, meaning "OR"?

    I did mean "or", I know that "/" in powershell isn't right, just a quicker way to descibe it here
