Hello. How can i run exe's without screen pop up, in other words, silently?

I've tried to create a shortcut for a program and asked for this shortcut to run minimized. I tried .bat commands, but the program still opens a screen, showing that it’s working/doing its thing.

I don't want this to happen. I'm trying to hide the program from the screen. I know there are ways to do it — I just want it to run in the background, without popping up the window. Just like a process that is only shown in the system tray or Task Manager.

And Task Scheduler is not in question — I just want it to execute without showing. Really.
