FIX: Stop Console Window from Flashing

Problem

The periodic save task shows a flashing console window every minute.

Solution (Pick One)

# Run this in PowerShell
.\.claude\hooks\update_to_invisible.ps1

Option 2: Recreate Task

# Run this in PowerShell
.\.claude\hooks\setup_periodic_save.ps1

Option 3: Manual Fix (Task Scheduler GUI)

  1. Open Task Scheduler (Win+R → taskschd.msc)
  2. Find "ClaudeTools - Periodic Context Save"
  3. Right-click → Properties
  4. Actions tab: Change Program/script from python.exe to pythonw.exe
  5. General tab: Check "Hidden" checkbox
  6. Click OK

Verify It Worked

# Check the executable
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "ClaudeTools - Periodic Context Save" |
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Actions |
    Select-Object Execute

# Should show: ...pythonw.exe (NOT python.exe)

# Check hidden setting
Get-ScheduledTask -TaskName "ClaudeTools - Periodic Context Save" |
    Select-Object -ExpandProperty Settings |
    Select-Object Hidden

# Should show: Hidden: True

What This Does

  • Changes from python.exepythonw.exe (no console window)
  • Sets task to run hidden
  • Changes to background mode (S4U LogonType)

Result: Task runs invisibly - no more flashing windows!
