How Can I Create a PS2EXE Without Displaying the PowerShell Console?

I've used PS2EXE to secure sensitive data before, but keep in mind that exposing your authentication interface through a console-less EXE can lead to security risks. Make sure you understand the implications, like anyone being able to access the code with the right permissions.

If you're inclined to hide the console, check out this method I found for launching PowerShell scripts without showing the command prompt: there's a hide console function that could do the trick! Look for examples online—it might help you achieve your goal.

Have you tried using VS Code with PowerShell Pro Tools? The license is currently free, and it allows you to convert your scripts to EXEs. Plus, it integrates nicely with PowerShell 7.5.0, which supports Windows 11 features. This could be a solid alternative for you.

You might want to reconsider using PS2EXE altogether. Security teams often flag it because it can be misused, and there are usually better ways to run your script without converting to an EXE. Why not just run the PS1 script directly? If you're set on the EXE, try using parameters in your script to suppress the window. There are methods to run scripts quietly without a visible console—look into silent run options in PowerShell.

The '-noconsole' might indeed be causing your issue since it's hiding the login prompts too. Instead of focusing on creating an EXE, you could deploy your script as a scheduled task with saved credentials. That way, it runs silently without any user interface popping up. It might be a better long-term solution.
