Bat file works manually but not from python subprocess call

Question

I was trying to start/stop netsh trace in Windows10. Created a python and bat file to do the same.

When I try.bat file manually in command prompt it is working but not working using python subprocess call.

Python code:

 subprocess.call([r'C:\Tools\Netsh\startTrace.bat'])

Bat File:

netsh trace start persistent=yes capture=yes tracefile=C:\Netsh\nettrace.etl

Any suggestion on the next step are welcome

Try:

subprocess.call((r"C:\Tools\Netsh\startTrace.bat") shell = True) or subprocess.Popen...
