❔ Background process in tray without window

I'm having a hard time finding information on running an app in the system tray without a window. In this case it's a little console app that will make an API request every 2-3 hours to automate something.

Everything I've found so far either refers to ASP.NET, UI background workers or using a process to start another process without a window using the Process class.

If there really is no other way to do it other than using the Process class to start another process of my own without a window, how would I publish it to have both processes and have the starting process correctly reference the background process?
