Win11: Console is no-longer displayed when launching Syncthing

Support
1

Hello, recently the console window that is usually displayed for the runtime of Syncthing is no-longer being displayed?

I imagine an auto-update has disabled this by default, but I can’t seem to find anything on the subject. Is there anyway I can re-enable the console in the foreground, instead of disappearing to a Background Process? Or have some other indication that the software is running in the Task bar/System tray

Everything still works and the web dashboard is still available, displaying v2.1.2.

Thank you for your time

The behaviour was changed in fix: on Windows don't allocate console if not opened inside one by Shablone · Pull Request #10726 · syncthing/syncthing · GitHub. If you want the console to stay open, a simple trick is to create a shortcut that runs a command like cmd.exe /c "syncthing.exe" instead of just syncthing.exe on its own.
