Running exe file in background in windows 10


How do I run an "exe" file on start up and in background?

I tried keeping the file in shell:startup folder but when it runs, the icon appears in taskbar which I don't want. How do I get rid of that icon in taskbar? Basically, I want to run the app in background.


Solution

  • You can make easily a service out of it using the Non-Sucking Service Manager

    It can be used as commonad-line tool and it has a graphical user interface.

    In the System services you can start/stop the service and make it run mode Automatic
