Also wanted to get a code to run as batch file in task scheduler that checks if both BP Server and Resource PC are running every few seconds and restart them if closed by accident.
Please help me with the above problems.

Do you run both Blue Prism components (The Application Server and the Runtime Resource) in the same workstation?
It's recommended to keep both BP component on separate workstations that are located under the same network environment.

However, assuming you are using learning edition or non-prod environment (POC set up) , you can write a batch file to start both the services and put it in your workstation startup folder. They will be auto started on system startup.

I've always run BPServer as a service and do not know if you can run it from a batch file. However, you can bring the runtime resource to the foreground if you wish.
If you execute Automate.exe with the parameter /invisible, then it will be hidden, but there will be a blue prism icon in your system tray. Left clicking it and selecting "Show" will display the window.
If you start Automate.exe without the /invisible parameter, the window will stay open on the desktop. Clicking the "Hide" button on the app will get it out of the way.
We recommend running it in invisible mode because the window might interfere with any screen interaction that your process may be doing on the PC.

You have the runtime resource defined as a task at start up. If you look at that task in task scheduler, you'll see something like this:
"C:\Program Files\Blue Prism Limited\Blue Prism Automate\Automate.exe" /resourcepc /public /invisible
If you remove "/invisible" from the command, the runtime resource window will appear when it starts up. Be advised though that the presence of the window on the screen may interfere if any process running.

What version of BP are you running? Also, you don't have this icon in your system tray?
