   The command START without the argument /WAIT starts a program in a new   
   process. Using START instead of CALL gives the desired result.   
      
   In earlier Windows versions START seemed to have a bug if the argument   
   "TITLE" had been omitted. To work around this bug it became usual to   
   call START with an empty "TITLE", but in current versions START does run   
   without "TITLE", tested with [version 10.0.19043.1645]   
      
   As I do not know your environment I gave you the syntax known as to work   
   for sure.
