Did you try adding the word PAUSE or change it to cmd /K. /C will terminate the command prompt.

Thank you very much. Your workaround worked, by using cmd /k I found that the problem was related to the working directory.
Both the following works well.

Code:

start /D %scriptPath% %scritpPath%program arg1 arg2

Code:

start /D %scriptPath% cmd /c %scriptPath%program arg1 arg2

I would like to get the same result via powershell:

Code:

Start-Process -WorkingDirectory $path -FilePath "$path\program" -ArgumentList "arg1 arg2" -WindowStyle Maximized

However, in this case adding the path does not change the effect.

Use the argument field available in task scheduler, also do you have your execution policy set to allow scripts?

I solved in this way:

Code:

Start-Process -WorkingDirectory $path -FilePath "$path\program" -ArgumentList "arg1 arg2" -WindowStyle Maximize

Schtsk:

Code:

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -NoProfile -InputFormat None -File C:\path\script.ps1
