**Running Syncthing Without a Console Window Using conhost.exe**

If you notice a console window appearing when Syncthing starts, you can use the Windows ``conhost.exe`` utility to run Syncthing in the background without a visible console window.

When configuring the Task Scheduler action, set the "Program/script:" field to:

``C:\Windows\System32\conhost.exe``

and the "Add arguments (optional):" field to:

``"C:\Syncthing\syncthing.exe" --no-console --no-browser``

Adjust the path to ``syncthing.exe`` if you installed it elsewhere.

For more details, see the community discussion at https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/8046.
