HTCondor is able to run GUI-based applications on the Windows operating system, so long as these applications do not block waiting for keyboard or mouse input (i.e. the GUI application must be able to run as a batch job). How this works is HTCondor dynamically creates a non-visible desktop for each slot on the execute node, and it will launch the job on this non-visible desktop. The result is the GUI job runs on the machine without windows popping up on the visible desktop, thus allowing a GUI job to effectively "run in the background" without disturbing the desktop user.
