The problem is that the selected posture agent does not support the engineer's goal of running as a background process without user interruption; a visible agent indicates it's likely a persistent or temporal agent that, by design or configuration, makes its presence known to the user. To run purely in the background, a specific agent type designed for silent operation must be chosen and correctly configured.

The deployment method (headend vs. SCCM) primarily affects how the agent is installed, not its runtime visibility or ability to run silently.

While permissions are important, a temporal agent lacking permissions would likely fail to run or assess, not necessarily run visibly when it's meant to be silent.

Even if remediation is required, a properly configured silent agent would typically handle remediation without a visible pop-up, or the pop-up would be a notification rather than the agent itself being visible, unless specifically configured to alert the user.
