Cmd Window Not Displaying

On a Win 8 machine, I have a batch file that does a dump of a MySQL database. It has a pause cmd at the end so I can see how the dump went.

It is run as a Scheduled Task daily. For some reason I'm having problems with it over the last week:

  1. When the Scheduled Task runs, the Cmd Window is not visible, and does not display on the Task Bar (I'm using Classic Shell). It displays OK if I manually run the batch file.

  2. Whilst I can see the process 'Windows Command Processor' in Task Manager, I cannot find a way to 'switch' to it.

Any ideas pls?

This isn't possible anymore:

services are run on a different desktop than users, and this affects the Task Scheduler as well.
