  • If you are on Windows, try to use pywin32 – Demian Wolf Feb 22 '20 at 21:23

  • I am not able to understand your suggestion, please explain how to use that in my code? – Sachin Kumar Feb 23 '20 at 08:33
  • You need to sleep a while to let the subprocess starts before taking screen shot. Also `a` is the process of `cmd.exe`, not the registered program executed by Windows `start` command to open `.txt` file. So `a.termiate()` will only terminate `cmd.exe`. – acw1668 Feb 24 '20 at 02:42
