[SOLVED] Run Multiple .exe Files from a Batch File Simultaneously and Silently

Run Multiple .exe Files from a Batch File Simultaneously and Silently

I am on windows 10 and i need to run multiple executable files from a batch file silently, without waiting for them to finish. at the moment i have:

@echo off
start "" "%~dp0executable.exe" /q
start "" "%~dp0executable2.exe" /q

but this still opens multiple console windows.
any workarounds that achieve the same results are welcome.

Solution

Your executables seem to be console applications, otherwise no console window would appear.

Anyway, the start command features an option /B; here is an excerpt of the output of start /?:

    B           Start application without creating a new window. The
                application has ^C handling ignored. Unless the application
                enables ^C processing, ^Break is the only way to interrupt
                the application.

By ^C and ^Break, pressing Ctrl + C and Ctrl + Pause/Break is meant, respectively.
