Running Command from Python. Works with os.system but not subprocces.run

I have been on this problem for quite a while now. I have this command line that I want run trough python:

Users\name.lastname\Desktop\TESTER\Latitude 5431\Latitude-5431-46KCM_Win10_1.0_A01.exe /s /e=C:Users\name.lastname\Desktop\TESTER\Latitude 5431

this should run the .exe and then extract the files to the specified folder. I tried this with os.system and it worked but when I run it with

import subprocess
x = '"' + "\\Users\\name.lastname\\Desktop\\TESTER\\Latitude 5431\\Latitude-5431-46KCM_Win10_1.0_A01.exe" + '" ' + "/s /e=C:Users\\name.lastname\\Desktop\\TESTER\\Latitude 5431"
p1 = subprocess.run(x, shell=True)

it only shows me 'tips' like these but no error message and the .exe is not executed.

Pass command line arguments directly to vendor installer.

Turn the return code to success if required
Latitude-5431-46KCM_Win10_1.0_A01.exe /factoryinstall /passthrough D:\Sample.xml C:\log\FI.log


Change from the default log location to C:\my path with spaces\log.txt
Latitude-5431-46KCM_Win10_1.0_A01.exe /l="C:\my path with spaces\log.txt"

Force update to continue, even on "soft" qualification errors
Latitude-5431-46KCM_Win10_1.0_A01.exe /s /f
subprocess python

Try running without shell=True as it makes things more complicated than it helps:

import subprocess

prog = r"C:\Users\name.lastname\Desktop\TESTER\Latitude 5431\Latitude-5431-46KCM_Win10_1.0_A01.exe"
args = ["/s", r"/e=C:\Users\name.lastname\Desktop\TESTER\Latitude 5431"]

subprocess.run([prog]+args)
