glatzfront Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Vista Ultimate x64I'm using the Task Manager to run a Windows Defender Quick scan which works OK except a Taskeng (command) window appears on screen until Quick scan is completed.Run Command produces the same result.Closing the window causes an error in Defender.Is there a way to suppress this window with a change to this command line ?Any help would be appreciated!"C:\Program Files\Windows Defender\MpCmdRun.exe" Scan -ScheduleJob -WinTask Edited May 24, 2011 by glatzfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda43 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Just a possibility:Instead of running the program from a command prompt, which does open a 'DOS' window, till the program closes,you might try making a simple one line batch file to run that program, then create a shortcut (on your desktop) to run the batch file. In Properties for that shortcut, you can specify "Run Minimized" so it only shows up in your task bar, and noton your screen.I've done this before, for certain things I want to run in a batch file, but I don't want displaying on the screen.Good Luck to you, B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glatzfront Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks for your reply and trying to help.I found that if I change the "User's account" to System when running the task i don't get the Dos window.Again thanks for your suggestion.
