Why is Windows 7 scheduled task running hidden?

I have a couple of Robocopy scripts setup in a scheduled task, but is there a way to actually display the cmd prompt with progress then the task runs? Or will it always run silently in the background?

Cheers

  • Take a look at this Super User post. It is for Windows 7, but applies to server 2008 R2.

How odd - it always shows for me.

My guess is that you have set up to run the task as a specific user (in task scheduler) which is not the same user as the one you are logged in as. Therefore it runs, but as it's on a different account, you don't see it (although it should appear in task manager if you check Show process form all users in the processes tab)!
