Create a shortcut for the application that is being scheduled to run on your desktop then right click it and under the "shortcut" tab where it says Run, select always minimized. Then go to task scheduler and change it so it points to that shortcut you created.

I had thought of what you suggested also, but it does not work in my case.

I am trying to use the task scheduler to trigger antivirus updates. whether it points to the executable file of shortcut to that file, the update process is still visible. The abiity to schedule updates is built into the software, but the allowed update frequency is not what is desired.
