How to hide console window while opening hidden IE COM object using C++?

I am new to C++ so please be gentle. So i created a small C++ script which will be a part of a larger program. It creates an invisible IE and navigates to home. While that part is done, it always creates a console window when it finishes execution and then in less than a second it vanishes. What do i need to change in order to make the program work in a way that the console window won't open ?

I have tried the following code in Visual Studio and it compiles correctly. I have created a new project using windows desktop wizard.

#include "StdAfx.h"

using namespace ATL;
using namespace std;

void ThrowIfFailed(HRESULT hr)
{
    if (FAILED(hr))
        throw CAtlException(hr);
}

int main()
{
    ::CoInitialize(nullptr);

    try
    {
        CComPtr<IWebBrowser2> pWebBrowser;
        HRESULT hr = ::CoCreateInstance(CLSID_InternetExplorer, nullptr, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IID_PPV_ARGS(&pWebBrowser));
        ThrowIfFailed(hr);

        hr = pWebBrowser->put_Visible(VARIANT_FALSE);
        ThrowIfFailed(hr);

        hr = pWebBrowser->GoHome();
        ThrowIfFailed(hr);

        CComPtr<IDispatch> pDispatch;
        hr = pWebBrowser->get_Document(&pDispatch);
        ThrowIfFailed(hr);

    }
    catch (const CAtlException& e)
    {

    }

    ::CoUninitialize();
    return 0;
}

This is able to create an invisible IE window which shows up in Task manager. It compiles properly and doesn't have any errors. However, it does also show a black console window. I dont want that to show. Please help. Thanks.
