Run powershell with parameters and hide flag

Question

According to the AHK Docs on Run, it accepts the following syntax:

Run, Target , WorkingDir, Options, OutputVarPID

Where Options can include:

Max: launch maximized

Min: launch minimized

Hide: launch hidden (cannot be used in combination with either of the above)

I have shortcut bound to a powershell script like this:

^4::
Run, pwsh -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Stop-ElgatoKeyLight -Host 192.168.1"
Return

However, as noted in Powershell -WindowStyle Hidden still shows a window briefly, this doesn't prevent a brief flash of the console starting up

I can't quite seem to get the syntax right when adding hide. When I try this:

Run, pwsh, -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Stop-ElgatoKeyLight -Host 192.168.1", Hide

I get the following error:

Q: How can I use the hide flag on the run command while still passing params into powershell?

You want to run:

Run, pwsh -Command "Stop-ElgatoKeyLight -Host 192.168.1", , Hide

Or using the modern expression syntax:

Run, % "pwsh -Command ""Stop-ElgatoKeyLight -Host 192.168.1""", , Hide

The way your code is currently written:

Run, pwsh, -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Stop-ElgatoKeyLight -Host 192.168.1", Hide

As you pointed out, the parameters are Target, WorkingDir, Options, OutputVarPID, so you're trying to launch pwsh in the directory -WindowStyle Hidden -Command "Stop-ElgatoKeyLight -Host 192.168.1".
