   I know VBScript and PowerShell can launch programs with the window   
   hidden. PowerShell's Start-Process cmdlet supports a "windowstyle"   
   parameter. This might be worth a try (single line):   
      
   powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -command "start-process   
   -filepath 'scrcpy' -argumentlist '--always-on-top   
   --tcpip=192.168.0.2:5555' -windowstyle 'hidden'"   
      
   If you want to hide or unhide a window "in-flight", I do not know of   
   any native way. There are ways to do it through the Windows API, and I   
   know PowerShell and VBScript can make API calls, but it is beyond my   
   abilities to write such a script.   
      
   If a third-party tool is acceptable, one of my favorites is AutoIt. It   
   is essentially a scripting language that has lots of built-in   
   functionality for manipulating the GUI. It can compile a script into a   
   standalone executable, which I really like. Take look here to get you   
   started:

   Something like:   
      
   WinSetState ( "screencopy", "" , @SW_HIDE )   
      
   and   
      
   WinSetState ( "screencopy", "" , @SW_SHOW )
