Look at the ProcessStartInfo.WindowStyle. You should be able to set it to start as Hidden until you've moved and resized it and then set it back to normal.

See here:

The hidden window style. A window can be either visible or hidden. The system displays a hidden window by not drawing it. If a window is hidden, it is effectively disabled. A hidden window can process messages from the system or from other windows, but it cannot process input from the user or display output. Frequently, an application may keep a new window hidden while it customizes the window's appearance, and then make the window style Normal. To use ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden, the ProcessStartInfo.UseShellExecute property must be false.

For how to change the style after the process has started, see this question:

Toggle Process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden at runtime
