📎 AI Summary:
A user on a Windows Server 2016 seeks help to automatically start iTunes with a visible GUI upon system boot, as their task scheduler setup starts iTunes hidden. Another user suggests using a logon script or shortcut in the startup folder, arguing that launching iTunes at system startup isn't ideal since it's an interactive application. The overall sentiment indicates a preference for manual start methods over automated startup for better visibility.

Hello all! I have a Windows Server 2016 box where i would like iTunes to start automatically when the computer boots up. I was able to successfully set the task up in task scheduler, but it started hidden, despite the hidden check box not being checked. I do occasionally use this computer to play music locally, so i would like to be able to see the GUI. Is there an argument i should be using for this task? Thanks!

Use a logon script or just put a shortcut in the start up folder. There's no reason to start it on the system start up since it's a interactive application.
