Alan,
What do you exactly want to do?
You can set the WindowStyle property to Hidden from the properties
sheet to hide the window completely.
this.process1.S tartInfo.Domain = "";
this.process1.S tartInfo.FileNa me = "notepad.ex e";
this.process1.S tartInfo.LoadUs erProfile = false;
this.process1.S tartInfo.Passwo rd = null;
this.process1.S tartInfo.Standa rdErrorEncoding = null;
this.process1.S tartInfo.Standa rdOutputEncodin g = null;
this.process1.S tartInfo.UserNa me = "";
this.process1.S tartInfo.Window Style =
System.Diagnost ics.ProcessWind owStyle.Hidden;
this.process1.S ynchronizingObj ect = this;

The above auto-generated code will launch notepad.exe but the window
and taskbar icon will not be visible.

Is this what you want?

Hi,

Although my application is only running for a short period of time, eg. 2
seconds but it still sit on the task bar.
I have already set up the WindowStyle to Hidden.
It is not only appear on the task bar (unitl it finished) but also make my
main form flashes.

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
