Hi @MIPAKTEH_1 , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

If you can connect correctly.

You can use the System.Diagnostics.Process class to start the calculator.

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
     ConnectionOptions options = new ConnectionOptions();
     options.Username = "your_remote_username";
     options.Password = "your_remote_password";
     options.Authority = "ntlmdomain:your_domain";

     string remoteComputer = "192.168.0.199"; // Replace with the IP address or name of your remote computer

     ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope($"\\\\{remoteComputer}\\root\\cimv2", options);
     scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = true;

     ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Process");

     using (ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(scope, query))
     {
         ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass(scope, new ManagementPath("Win32_Process"), new ObjectGetOptions());
         ManagementBaseObject inParams = processClass.GetMethodParameters("Create");

         //Set the process path to be started
         inParams["CommandLine"] = "calc.exe";

         //Start the calculator process
         ManagementBaseObject outParams = processClass.InvokeMethod("Create", inParams, null);
        
         // Get process ID
         uint processId = (uint)outParams["processId"];
        
         Console.WriteLine($"Calculator process started with Process ID: {processId}");
     }
}

You need to make sure the exe path is correct. Also make sure to replace your_remote_username, your_remote_password and your_domain with your actual credentials and domain name of your remote computer, and replace remoteComputer with the IP address or name of the remote computer you want to connect to.

Best Regards,
