You should be able to achieve that by implementing your application as a 
Windows service.

For a quick workaround would be to call FreeConsole() in your 
application. This way console will become unused and conhost will exit 
earlier.

If you wrap execution with a script, you could also make sure that none 
of std handles (in, out, err) is a terminal. In this case conhost will 
not be created in the first place.
