Windows 10: App opened via task scheduler closes/crashes after some time.

I use an app called PhraseExpress(text expander) that I wanted to start on boot. However it didn't start on boot with administrator privileges which are needed for it to function in Windows Terminal. So after looking online, I created a startup event in Task Scheduler that opens it with admin privileges after boot or a sign in and I removed it from normal startup list. The app works perfectly for a while. However when I look at the icon tray after a few minutes(10 mins or so I think), the icon disappears when I hover my mouse over it, which I assume means that the app closed a while ago and the tray just showed it without it actually running. I know it's not the fault of the app because if I restart it again manually with admin privelegs, it will work indefinitely and not crash. Does anybody have an insight on what is happening?



I am running an old Hp Pavilion 15 ab-522tx laptop(https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c04863397). It has an intel i5-6200 CPU and 8GB of Ram. I'm on 20H2 build of Windows with the build number 19042.685. I've seen this issue for roughly 3-4 months when I first created the task.
