CMD window flashes repeatedly on Windows

[qoosdd89382]

Environment

• OS: Windows (native)
• RTK installed via WSL (already uninstalled, version unknown, installed on May 27, 2026)
• Used with an AI coding tool: Claude Code

Describe the bug
After installing RTK via WSL. When using an AI coding tool, RTK intercepts git commands (e.g. git status, git diff) as designed, but each interception causes a CMD console window to briefly flash on the Windows host. Since AI tools issue git commands frequently during a session, the CMD window flashes constantly and is very disruptive.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install RTK via WSL on Windows
2. Open Task Scheduler (taskschd.msc) → Task Scheduler Library — observe RTK entry
3. Use an AI coding tool that triggers git commands in the background
4. Observe CMD windows flashing repeatedly on screen

Resolution confirmed
Uninstalling RTK from within WSL stops the flashing immediately, confirming the scheduled task registered during WSL installation is the root cause.

Expected behavior
RTK should intercept and execute commands silently with no visible console window on the Windows host.

Summary

WSL installation registers a Windows Task Scheduler entry that runs visibly, causing CMD windows to flash on every intercepted git command — fix by setting the scheduled task to run hidden/minimized.

This looks like a simple fix that could be auto-resolved. Repo maintainers can use /wshm fix to attempt it.
