I have run into a case where a Windows Form application is being run regularly via a scheduled task on a Windows Server 2003 box. The GUI is, obviously, not being used to take in any user input, so it is at best pointless. But is it also dangerous? Could it cause anything to go pop on the box?
It should not really harm.
You may want to create a standard shortcut to the application then in “properties” select the “Run” -> “Minimized” option.
Don’t forget to point the task sceduler to execute the new shortcut rather than the direct application.
