Bug description

On windows server 2022 (but 2019 probably also) synchronization can't be used with task scheduler.
Even if I use --background option, still application trying to start some gui.

Steps to reproduce

1. Configure nextcloud on windows user as usual (get for this account application password).
2. Exit nextcloud
3. Create new task scheduler with options "User must be logged in" off
4. As action choose nextcloud with options: --background --confdir %APPDATA%\Nextcloud\ --userid background_sync --apppassword xxx-yyy-zzz-aaa-bbb
5. Try to start this task.

Expected behavior

Earlier versions were working fine, nextcloud was working in the background without any user logged in. Right now, if I run command ind cmd: nextcloud.exe --background --confdir %APPDATA%\Nextcloud\ --userid background_sync there still appear nextcloud icon in task bar.

And nextcloudcmd.exe isn't option here, as it is one shot app.
