can you? a service doesn't need a console to run, but an application does, so I don't think you can do it. having said that, the simple thing to ask is if the form.visible is set to true...

every app you start is a process and will therefore be visible in the task manager. You cannot prevent an app from showing in the task manager

I solved this problem. The simplest way is to check box
in Service managm,ent concsole "Allow service to interact with desktop"
