Greetings, Paul Maier!

> When I start a run.exe command manually, it hides fine both, the window and

What exactly is in your scripts, and in the links in StartUp dir?

> This seems a racing condition to me:

This seems to be a wrong link/improperly designed script for me.
Or a use of a wrong tools for the task.

> I also added a 4th script:

> It worked fine with the run.exe that I downloaded 1 year ago.
