Originally assigned to: @DHowett on GitHub.

Due to the design of the console subsystem on Windows as it has existed
since Windows 95, every application that is stamped with the
IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_CUI subsystem in its PE header will be
allocated a console by kernel32 (conclnt, the console client library,
handles this.)

Any application that is stamped IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI will not
automatically be allocated a console.

We need something finer-grained than that.

This scenario workitem includes:

  • Creating the new fusion manifest entry
  • Adding support for the fusion manifest entry to conclnt
  • Any APIs that must be added (e.g. AllocConsoleEx) to support this new policy
  • All testing for any new APIs and fusion manifest fields
  • All public facing documentation for any new APIs and fusion manifest fields
