Developer’s Description

By NTWind Software
Run apps and batch files without a console window or UAC prompt.

Console applications and batch files are regularly run at Windows startup or in a schedule. The main inconvenience of this is that each application opens a console window that flickers on the screen. Hidden Start (or Hstart) is a lightweight command line utility that allows you to run console applications and batch files without any window in the background, handle UAC privilege elevation under Windows 10 and prior, start multiple commands in parallel or synchronously, and much more.

Hstart is a must have if you use batch files on an everyday basis for backups, various file sync and copy scripts, automatic source code compilation or code signing. For your convenience, Hstart comes with a handy GUI tool which makes it easy to create complex command lines and test them immediately.
