[Windows] Try to find a better workaround instead flashing the powershell windows during crc setup

[praveenkumar]

With https://github.com/code-ready/crc/pull/3088 crc daemon is started using task schedular but as of now when user perform crc setup then it flash a powershell window for a second because of limitation https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3028, In this issue there are other workaround is something like using vbs script (which detect as virus as per @anjannath ) and then https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23250505/how-do-i-create-an-executable-from-golang-that-doesnt-open-a-console-window-whe which use go ldflag for not using any console window https://github.com/code-ready/crc/pull/3088#issuecomment-1081414893 . This isssue is to track if there is a better way.

If we run crc daemon directly, then a console window is always shown. We try to avoid this through the use of powershell: powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -Command %s, but there is still a console window flashing briefly as described in https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/3028

Hi, I am experiencing the same with 2.8.0 (I gave up installing the newest version after many fails). I use Windows Terminal and despite the options mentioned by @cfergeau the powershell window (in Windows terminal) opens and keeps running with crc daemon for the whole login session. It is a bit cumbersome to move it every single time to the second virtual desktop and that still doesn't resolve an issue that I can close it accidentally (as it is running as Windows Terminal). Do you have any progress on this?

If the powershell window stays open, it's unexpected and it's a bug. However I don't think it happens on our machines, so I'm not sure how to debug this further. This bug is about a window which is opened for less than 1 second, and automatically closes it self.
