Winre shows black screen in the background

Hello Experts,

I am using WinRE instead of WinPE for device deployment due to WinRE's Wi-Fi capabilities. The issue I’m facing is that when my build runs, it executes the startnet.cmd file (since I don’t have a winpeshl.ini file), which in turn runs the wpeinit command.

When the wpeinit command runs, it launches a command prompt in the background, covering my wallpaper. This command prompt stays open in the background for exactly 5 minutes before closing. How can I prevent the black command prompt from appearing in the background?

I know wpeinit has an option to provide unattended file, but I don't know what it is for and also wanted to do this in the recommended way.

Additionally, what is the ideal wallpaper size? All the ones I’ve tried either don’t fit or expand awkwardly on the device screen.

I would appreciate your input, experts.
