How to run an exe file in a completely hidden way

Question

I'm able to execute an exe file via command prompt using below line:

process = subprocess.Popen("LogCollector.EXE ")

But the LogCollector.EXE GUI is still visible, Please suggest some method to run this completely in hidden way.

import os
os.system('start /MIN notepad.exe');

Use this command in the window, it will run the application and minimize the application. Maybe it will help you

How to pass argument here? Can you please provide the syntax and is it possible to run using subprocess? – Ramanagouda Patil May 28 '18 at 09:53
Hi Malakar, Thanks for your valuable answer. It worked for me, and is there any way to completely hide the GUI? and how to pass the arguments to the EXE? – Ramanagouda Patil May 29 '18 at 05:40
Still, I am not found any solution for completely hide the GUI, – Biplab Malakar May 30 '18 at 09:04
Pass argument like os.system('start /MIN notepad "file.txt"'); – Biplab Malakar May 30 '18 at 09:04
