Bug Description
On Windows, the OpenClaw Gateway heartbeat mechanism spawns a visible cmd.exe window that runs
findstr /I /C:"Running"to check scheduled task status. The window stays open with a black screen and the command visible in the title bar.Reproduction
findstr /I /C:"Running"Evidence
node.exe (Gateway, PID 2876) -> cmd.exe (PID 3616) -> findstr.exe (PID 7464)openclaw-schtasks-restart-*.cmd(inAppData\Local\Temp\openclaw\)Expected Behavior
The heartbeat check should run silently (no visible window).
OpenClaw Version
Root Cause Analysis
The temporary restart script uses
findstr /I /C:"Running"withoutstart /minor output redirection, causing a persistent visible window.
