I only found that I can run it minimized if instead of running directly the .bat file I run the .lnk file (shortcut file) that points to that batch file. The shortcut can be then configured to run minimized.
Hope this helps!

If you are running the second batch file from the first you may be able to use the NUL setting.
In Batch1.bat use the following to run batch2: --
[file location]\batch2.bat >NUL
-- Using > is the send to command, NUL is basically to not display anything.
Give it a go.
