    My batch file has only this command,

     

     

    start "TestExecute" /wait "C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartBear\TestExecute 15\x64\Bin\TestExecute.exe" "C:\Sandbox\TestComplete\Project Flow\Project Flow.pjs" /run /exit /DoNotShowLog /project:"TestProject2" /ExportLog:"C:\Sandbox\Log\TestProject2\index.html"

i finally have it working. my scheduled task points to a bat file that runs a powershell script with the verb runas to elevate the permissions and in the powershell script, i have this code that successfully bounces the azure agent and keeps it in the Apps section of Task Manager. Thanks for all your help. 

if (Get-Process -Name Agent.Listener -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) 
{
  echo "Azure Agent is running. Stopping Agent"
  Stop-Process -Name 'Agent.Listener' -Force
  Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 10000
  if (Get-Process -Name cmd -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) 
  {
    Stop-Process -Name cmd
  }       
  Start-Sleep -Milliseconds 150000
}
echo "Starting Azure Agent"
$command = 'start "Agent.Listener" "C:\Agents\run.cmd" --startuptype autostartup'
Start-Process 'cmd' -ArgumentList "/D /S /C $command"
