Hi, so it has run but not done anything:

2017/08/16 02:50:45 PM Finished success Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

So not sure here, it seems to have finished BUT the Icon on the systray is still showing, i guess after a reboot this will be all gone.
