Description:
After installation of MySQL workbench the installer adds a scheduled task to 12:00 AM to run MySQLInstallerConsole.exe.
If I'm working at that time it's annoying to see the black console screen pop up and vanishes - feels like a virus.

How to repeat:
Install MYSQL workbench, look at the PC at midnight.
Or simply go to task scheduler --> MySQL --> Installer --> run the manifestupdate task.

Suggested fix:
There are several options:
1. In the installer, when adding this task to windows scheduler make it hidden.
2. Make the console hidden by default in this product.

For the user:
go to task scheduler --> MySQL --> Installer --> set manifestupdate task as hidden.
