Try creating a hidden window.

That's it. I'm writing a background application, that shows a window occassionaly (listening to key events).
How could I then hide this console?

Are you sure that you are using QApplication in your main.cpp?

Also, my understanding is that Windows starts a short timer when your application starts.  If you do not create a window quickly enough, Windows assumes the app is console.  Do you have a particularly long initialisation?
