run a powershell ps1 script hidden from view and scheduled on Task Scheduler for Windows

The script launcher

We need a script launcher as PowerShell scripts run in the foreground and we don't want the window of this script to appear at all.

This one can be a .vbs file that will be setup like this - In Task Scheduler - Action: Start a program - Program/script: wscript - Add arguments (optional): <path\to\the\.ps1\file>

Here is the .vbs script:

command = "powershell.exe  -ExecutionPolicy Bypass  C:\Users\Ismael\Documents\GitHub\djismgaming.github.io\blogupdate.ps1"

set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

shell.Run command,0
