If this is run as a scheduled task and with the passphrase kept in a text file, perhaps just remove the passphrase?

??

GNU is a vague operating system (just like, e. g., ‘UNIX’) and it has no versions per se.

GnuPG version 3 does not exist yet. The stable release is 2.2.21.

I guess, you mean GnuPG 2.1.12. (Why not the latest, by the way?)

‘The GNU Privacy Guard Manual’ can (emphasis mine):

| '--passphrase-fd N'
| Read the passphrase from file descriptor N. Only the first line
| will be read from file descriptor N. If you use 0 for N, the
| passphrase will be read from STDIN. This can only be used if only
| one passphrase is supplied.
|
| Note that since Version 2.0 this passphrase is only used if the
| option '--batch' has also been given. Since Version 2.1 the
| *'--pinentry-mode'* also needs to be set to 'loopback'.

Nope, you?ve just posted it to the public mailing list.

The OP probably meant Gpg4win 3.1.12 which is our Windows installer
featuring GnuPG 2.2.21, Kleoptra, and our Outlook plugin.
