Description
Describe the bug
Server GUI program will not launch or stay launched
Describe the environment
Windows Server 2019 latest 1.12
How to Reproduce the bug
Installed via instructions on Rustdesk website with NSSM
Ran the server installer file in the downloaded zip file. Double click on the shortcut it puts on the desktop. Quickly see the window border before it closes. It places a icon in the taskbar, but when I hover over it it vanishes.
Expected behavior
The window should open and stay open and the taskbar icon should stay as well until it is closed.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure on Windows Server 2019 using the downloaded ZIP's server installer, the desktop shortcut, and NSSM as described. Trace why the GUI window and taskbar icon close immediately; the issue is done when the server launches and remains open until explicitly closed.
