How to call ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow) from a Windows Console Application

Goal

I want to call ShowWindow to display a window, even when starting with an empty project or a console application in Visual Studio.

Prerequisites

The project properties under [Linker] > [System] > [SubSystem] are set to Console.

Here are the three important things:

main.cpp

HWND hWnd = CreateWindowW(szWindowClass, szTitle, WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, CW_USEDEFAULT, 0, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr, nullptr);
int nCmdShow = SW_NORMAL;
ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow);

According to the reference, the second argument of ShowWindow() should be the value passed from WinMain(), but you can safely ignore this.
It will work perfectly fine with SW_NORMAL or SW_SHOWNORMAL.
