Short description
Starts one or more processes on the local computer.

Syntax


Description
Starts one or more processes on the local computer.  To specify the program that runs in the process, enter an exec
utable file or script file, or a file that can be opened by using a program on the computer. If you specify a non-e
xecutable file, Start-Process starts the program that is associated with the file, much like the Invoke-Item cmdlet
.

You can use the parameters of Start-Process to specify options, such as loading a user profile, starting the proces
s in a new window, or using alternate credentials.
