Keeping alive a program after closing Live Terminal

Hi everyone,

I'm using Live Terminal to upload/download Microfsoft's MSERT on potentially infected devices, which are isolated.

But, when running msert.exe via Live Terminal, it seems that the process is attached to my Live Terminal instance, meaning that if I want the MSERT scan to complete, I have to keep the Live Terminal session open.

Is there another way to make it so that it keeps running in the background ?

I tried a bunch of solution such as detaching the process but it seems like it doesn't work.

I can't use "runas" either.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

(P.S. : I'm still new to system administration/cybersecurity, so I might be missing obvious solutions)

Okay, so after more extended research, i managed to achieve what i needed using the command

>> wmic process call create "C:\path\to\app.exe /Flags"
