How not to show the chromewebdriver.exe window?

Question

I have gui app for parsing. After start parsing, always show chromedriver.exe window. How i can hide this window-console?

My driver:

options = selenium.webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument('headless')
options.add_argument('--headless')
options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
options.add_argument('--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled')
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_experimental_option('excludeSwitches', ['enable-logging'])

service = Service(webdriver_manager.chrome.ChromeDriverManager(log_level=logging.CRITICAL).install())
        driver = selenium.webdriver.Chrome(
            service=service,
            options=options
        )
driver.execute_cdp_cmd('Network.setUserAgentOverride', {"userAgent": UserAgent().chrome})
driver.implicitly_wait(10)
driver.get("my_url")

What OS are you running from (Windows?) and do you have the Developer tools window up before running Selenium? — CodeMonkey, May 16 '22 at 22:52
Don't recognize the Fobos Console window. It might be a custom plugin or javascript popup. If you click Settings what info does it show? — CodeMonkey, May 16 '22 at 22:56
Do you want that console window to be disabled/hidden or do you want the selium logging to be disabled? — CodeMonkey, May 16 '22 at 22:59
You should explain or show code how the chromedriver is created, presumably in your GUI app so others can re-create your setup. — CodeMonkey, May 16 '22 at 23:16

from subprocess import CREATE_NO_WINDOW

service = Service(webdriver_manager.chrome.ChromeDriverManager(log_level=logging.CRITICAL).install())
service.creationflags = CREATE_NO_WINDOW
