Originally created by @Astro-Aionia on GitHub (Jul 12, 2023).

Windows Terminal version

1.17.11461.0

Windows build number

10.0.19045.3086

Other Software

I find this bug when using Syncthing, but I'm sure this bug can reproduce with any CLI programs

Steps to reproduce

run a CLI program with a parameter -no-console

e.g., I write this bat file to run Syncthing without console window:

start "Syncthing" syncthing.exe -no-console -no-browser

Expected Behavior

Launch the program and close the tab immediately.

Actual Behavior

It will open a new tab and keep the screen output. But in cmd it wil close the cmd window

This is definitely a dupe, but it's hard to say where to exactly. Here are some notes:

  • downstream: https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/8046
  • #12464
    • This is the thread I think is probably the most relevant.
    • There's another note in #13392 too.
  • #7335
    • notable mention here.
    • I'm guessing that syncthing is a CONSOLE subsystem exe. I'm guessing that folks are running it from like, a shortcut, or the run dialog - basically, from something that can't just call CreateProcess with specific flags.
    • There's gotta be some commandline that'll launch a console app hidden. Idly, I wonder if cmd.exe /c start /min "Syncthing" syncthing.exe -no-console -no-browser would work.
      • That should cause defterm to not handoff for the "minimized" syncthing.exe launch. Once syncthing is launched in conhost, it should be able to SW_HIDE its console window. A Terminal window might still flash on screen (for the cmd.exe), but it should disappear quick.
