How run an GUI application via a Service application in c#

I wanted to run an GUI application via a service application in C#, so i have tried with System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() method as below:

        if (KillTask("notepad") == false)
        {
            //ProcessStartInfo _ProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe");
            //_ProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
            //_ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
            //_ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
            //_ProcessStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
            //_ProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

            //_ProcessStartInfo.ErrorDialog = false;
            //_ProcessStartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;
            //System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(_ProcessStartInfo);


            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe");



        }

The problem is that Notepad goes run but with no UI and you can see it in the task manager but no GUI Instance of Notepad was shown.

I've also tried with the ProcessStartInfo() class as you can see as remarked code, but the problem still exists.

Have you tried setting the username and password property of ProcessStartInfo to a user that is currently logged on? The problem is that the system user does not have a gui available.

Hello what happens is that the process runs in an environment without a session,

It is necessary to have a user session, start the process and send the GUI to the graphical desktop of this started session.

This is verified since when you start your Process you get an ID and it can be checked in TaskManager/Details/

Sort by PID and you will see that service started but in SYSTEM.

It is necessary to create a class to obtain the logged in User and send the GUI to that desktop

            CloseHandle(procInfo.hProcess);
        }

        return true;
    }

}

Then you just call your process as follows

 public static void run()
    {
        ProcessExtensions.StartProcessAsCurrentUser(@"calc.exe");
    }

Next Recompile you Service // Install // Start //
