If your exe takes arguments   start MyApp exe -arg1 -arg2

I m making a guess here  but your start invocation probably looks like this   start   Foo Bar Path with spaces in it program exe    This will open a new console window  using     Foo Bar Path with spaces in it program exe    as its title   If you use start with something that is  or needs to be  surrounded by quotes  you need to put empty quotes as the first argument   start      Foo Bar Path with spaces in it program exe    This is because start interprets the first quoted argument it finds as the window title for a new console window

I used start  b for this instead of just start and it ran without a window for each command  so there was no waiting

If start can t find what it s looking for  it does what you describe   Since what you re doing should work  it s very likely you re leaving out some quotes  or putting extras in
