Answer 1

I assume that your application runs on Windows (this is not portable for different operating systems).

GetConsoleWindow(), ShowWindow(), / . windows.h:

ShowWindow(GetConsoleWindow(), SW_MINIMIZE);

SW_MINIMIZE SW_HIDE, ( ).

, , DETACHED_PROCESS: . CreateProcess() , (, ...)

UPDATE: Windows, , , , AllocConsole:

if (AllocConsole()) {
    printf("Now I can print to console...\n");
    FreeConsole();
}
