If you compile vim yourself, you can simply change SW_SHOWMINNOACTIVE to
SW_HIDE in https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/src/os_win32.c#L4131.
I have used this patch for years (unfortunately I forget the source of the
patch) then just add let $VIM_SYSTEM_HIDECONSOLE=1 to vimrc or toggle the
value when necessary.
