With Windows Terminal as the default console (Windows 11), powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden from the HKCU Run key still opens a visible window. Closing it kills the tray, which is what happened on the first login. conhost.exe --headless starts it with no window. I verified this on borodutch-pc: after a reboot and login the tray started with no window and switched to the Mac when Control launched.

Docs and the script comment only. The Run entry on the PC is already updated. The docs also note that Windows 11 first puts the icon in the hidden tray overflow.
