+   **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.
