You can use an asynchronous approach to Process.Start (the default one is synchronous and doesn't wait for the process to start, it returns before that) and show a progress bar until the Task object completes.

See this thread for that, c# - Is there any async equivalent of Process.Start? - Stack Overflow[^].

This depends on the framework that you are using. Are you using WPF, WinForms, or any other front-end framework to render the controls. You will need to show the progress bar for that specific framework.

ProgressBar Class (System.Windows.Controls) | Microsoft Docs[^]

The rest of the step is just the async/await application before the Process.Start and calling the function with await applied. Once the await is done, you can hide the ProgressBar and continue with the process that just started.
