What is the way to close a program when opening another one?

Question

Windows

when you open a program such as Notepad.exe, you need to close chrome.exe
how to do it in invisible mode and so that antiviruses do not go crazy?

I looked in the direction of the shortcut parameters, but everything is remarkable there, then I thought cmd / bat / vbs, but antiviruses swear at any sneeze, installing third-party software is not at all an option,

tell me?

Answer 1

.cmd

@echo off
taskkill /f /im chrome.exe
start notepad.exe
exit

you create a task in the scheduler,
create a second cmd to start the task
schtasks /Run /TN "имя задачи"
- I do not recommend the second one
. for a hidden task, you will have to run from SYSTEM
