If your app has nothing to show to the user, does that mean that it does not
really need any user interaction? If so, why not write it as a Windows
service?

I think you should consider a windows service instead.

Better suited for background processing.

It might be simpler to just make the form invisible with a Hide() during the
Main function.

You could have written it as a console application also, then you
just have to get rid of the console window when the application starts up.
