How to make console process not open? - c++

Question

So, I'm trying to learn how to make C/C++ Windows Desktop Applications, but I have come across a great issue, when creating a completely normal window, the cmd where the console application would run appears. Is there any way to make so that it doesn't even open? I've been seeing some methods, but they appear to hide the console, but the process is still there.Here is my code:
#define UNICODE
#define _UNICODE
#include <Windows.h>
LRESULT CALLBACK WinProc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR args, int nCmdShow) {
WNDCLASSW wc = { 0 };
wc.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH)COLOR_WINDOW;
wc.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);
wc.hInstance = hInstance;
wc.lpszClassName = L"windowClass";
wc.lpfnWndProc = WinProc;
if (!RegisterClass(&wc))
return 1;
HWND hWnd = CreateWindow(L"windowClass", L"Window 1",
WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,
100, 100,
256, 256,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow);
UpdateWindow(hWnd);
MSG msg = { 0 };
while (GetMessage(&msg, NULL, NULL, NULL)) {
TranslateMessage(&msg);
DispatchMessage(&msg);
}
return (int)msg.wParam;
}
LRESULT CALLBACK WinProc(HWND hWnd, UINT msg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
switch (msg) {
case WM_DESTROY:
PostQuitMessage(0);
break;
default:
DefWindowProc(hWnd, msg, wParam, lParam);
}
}
