Hmm. It sounds like the gui app could do with being split up into a windows service with a separate client app for the gui interface.
I have encountered older windows apps which run as services but also present a GUI. For security reasons Microsoft have discouraged this for years now but I put a bit in my talk about working with such things at Ansiblefest London earlier this year. Slides are here: http://www.slideshare.net/jhawkesworth/ansible-20-windows-and-no-powershell-this-year-i-promise-ansiblefest-london-2016 and audio here https://www.ansible.com/ansible-2-windows The above won't help if the app isn't a service though - I think a bit of re-engineering might be needed - unless anyone else has some suggestions?
