This is the way how it works in Windows.

If you want to get rid of that console window you can change the
application type to Windows application (the difference is just one
byte in PE header). This will get your application to start without
standard handles (stdin, stdout, stderr). This is what I am going to
do in USBPcapCMD sometime soon.
