how can I run the script in the background with windows task scheduler?

[jadedgnome]

I've tried running the script "gallery-dl.exe -q" with task scheduler but command prompt windows keeps popping up instead of running the background.

is there anyway I can run it with pythow.exe?

If you are using the .exe version, then no, I don't think it's possible without it opening a cmd.exe window.

If you have gallery-dl installed with pip, you might be able to do
pythonw.exe -m gallery_dl ...

I did install the master version with pip command in READEME.md. the only "gallery_dl" I have in windows is are folders.
