You have two choices: 1) You can use Windows Scheduler to run the script in the background. I have lots of scripts that I do this with.
2) You can convert the script into a Windows Service, which will run in the background continuously. I know of no way to manually start something in the foreground and have it execute in the background (unlike on Linux).
