hideexec

Generally speaking, if you want to launch an application that performs a repetitive task and prefer that it does not interrupt your workflow, but rather works in the background, then one alternative is to start it hidden.

hideexec is a lightweight utility that will help you start hidden processes and can prove a very useful tool for starting console processes silently. It is important to note that you need to run it via the Command Line with Administrator Privileges and include a parameter to another executable file, which is the hidden process that you are attempting to launch.

Then again, you do not really need to launch the Windows console every time you want to start various hidden processes. In fact, if you want to save time and effort, you can consider creating a batch script where you add this utility and let it do its work.

The direct advantage of this method is that it runs silently in the background and does not show any window that may interrupt you. Other noteworthy benefit is that you do not need to worry about whether it is compatible with all Windows components, it is fast, as it was designed to work on machines with a few MB and you do not need to wrap it.
