I need to periodically restart onedrive.exe, and I believe a Scheduled Task is appropriate for this problem to kill and then start the process.

However, when onedrive.exe starts this way, I get the welcome message in my notification bar, as well as the OneDrive folder opens, which I would like to avoid. How could I start onedrive.exe in "silent mode"? Is there a command line parameter for this? Documentation is really lacking on this one.

Note: onedrive.exe is located at
%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe

How could I start onedrive.exe so that the welcome message and OneDrive folder do not open as well?

I looked into msconfig.exe where OneDrive starts automatically on booting (if activated).

You could realize it with an optional parameter: the /background parameter starts OneDrive without any tooltip popup and without opening OneDrive folder in Windows Explorer.

FYI: You could use %LocalAppData% instead of %UserProfile%\AppData\Local
