This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
You're going to have to give a better example, and explain what problem you are having trying to get it to work.

If you want invoke your exe form a console you have to use one of the switches /c or /K of 'cmd' that executes the command following the switch:

C#

string strCmdPars;
strCmdPars= "/C application.exe";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdPars);

This will run cmd.exe that in turn will run your application. When the application ends cmd will quit.
Using the switch /K cmd will remain on after application.exe quits:

C#

string strCmdPars;
strCmdPars= "/K application.exe";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe",strCmdPars);

For all switches accepted by cmd.exe you can see here[^].
