Use CREATE_NO_WINDOW instead of DETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP when starting the daemon on Windows. DETACHED_PROCESS detaches from the parent console but still creates a new visible console window. CREATE_NO_WINDOW suppresses the window entirely. Fixes cocoindex-io#100

Summary
CREATE_NO_WINDOWinstead ofDETACHED_PROCESS | CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUPwhen starting the daemon on WindowsProblem
The daemon process creates a visible console window on Windows 11 that stays in the taskbar.
DETACHED_PROCESSdetaches from the parent console but still allows a new console window to be created.Fix
Replace the creation flags with
CREATE_NO_WINDOW(0x08000000), which suppresses the console window entirely. Tested on Windows 11 Pro — daemon starts and operates normally without any visible window.Fixes #100
