Is it possible to see status of a batch running under Task Scheduler?

If you run it as the logged in user instead of system, and make sure "run minimized" is not set, yes

Not sure what you mean. It already is running as the logged in user, "run minimized" is not checked. Starting it from Task Scheduler shows "running" but nothing is displayed anywhere.

What command is scheduler running?
It should just be "C:\Program Files\FreeFileSync\FreeFileSync.exe" for program and then the path to your batch config as the argument. What happens if you run the command manually in a cmd window?

Ran from cmd, it pops up a progress window. Ran from Task Scheduler, it does not, just shows "running" status.

What if you create a batch script that runs the command you just manually ran in cmd, then have task scheduler run that batch script instead of the command itself?
