Learn how to terminate a program using the command prompt without ending the entire system.
The tutorials demonstrate methods to terminate the process, but you're looking for a simpler way. You can use the Windows system tray feature by right-clicking the NordVPN icon and selecting "Open System Tray." This will bring it to the tray without using command-line tools.
They seem to be referring to the commandline window that stays active after running a batch file. This is why I suggested using shortcuts with the necessary settings. My answer might be incorrect, so please let me know @Mr.Stork what you're aiming for. Are you trying to move NordVPN to a different tray or keep it running after the command finishes? The issue arises because executing from a batch file causes NordVPN to start as a child process, which closes not just the window but also any related processes. Understanding your goal will help provide a clearer solution.
I created a batch file to launch Rainbow Six Siege alongside Overwatch and NordVPN using the Singapore server. This setup significantly reduces my ping. (Note: I no longer rely on the -c -g "Singapore" option since NordVPN now auto-connects smoothly.) When NordVPN starts, it opens a window I prefer not to see on my taskbar since it connects automatically. @Kilrah I attempted using /min, but it placed NordVPN in the taskbar—better than nothing. I’d rather have it in the system tray so I don’t have to switch tabs. And as mentioned earlier, it can get a bit cluttered.
