The relevant code then needs to be placed at the top of your script:

if not "%minimized%"=="" goto :minimized
set minimized=true
start /min cmd /C "%~dpnx0"
goto :EOF
:minimized
rem Anything after here will run in a minimized window

Here is more information about "%~dpnx0".

There isn't a command that you can use from a DOS prompt, however you can create a PIF file that points to your batch file, in which you can set the default window position (including minimized).

How to minimize the current command prompt:

Purpose:

1. Close a command prompt after execution.
2. Open a new command prompt using the same path.

First open command prompt : Hold down the [Windows] + [R] keys.

Go to this location:

C:\>cd Users\Admin\Desktop

Next excute:

C:\Users\Admin\Desktop>start /min && exit

Results:
  A new minimized command prompt should open with the same path.

Alternatively:
Create a script named minimize.bat and type start /min && exit into the script and place it in your system32 folder. In order to have the ability to access it via the command prompt.

Windows 10 makes it very easy to start minimized. Simply create a shortcut and click properties. On the shortcut tab half way down is the "Run:" option witch lets you select how you want the command line window to start up. Just select minimized and your command window will remain minimized from the onset. Windows10 properties window of a shortcut

Use WinExec to start your batch file and pass SW_SHOWMINIMIZED for the second parameter.
