I can\'t seem to find an answer on Google or here on StackOverflow.

How can I start a process in background (behind the active window)? Like, when the process starts

Below code should do what you need:

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var handle = Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainWindowHandle;
        Process.Start("Chrome.exe").WaitForInputIdle();
        SetForegroundWindow(handle.ToInt32());
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    [DllImport("User32.dll")]
    public static extern Int32 SetForegroundWindow(int hWnd); 
}
