A simple way to run an executable file in backgound in Windows 10.

> Start-Process .\someName.exe -NoNewWindow -PassThru

The above command will return the name of the process, which can be used to stop the process as follows

> Stop-Process -name YourServiceName

These two simple command have saved me a lot of time in the past few days.
