Hi, today I went to start darktable and that system window came out. What happened
I think this came from a recent Windows update which resetted the terminal settings (had that too yesterday). Open start menu and type terminal. Look for terminal-settings (or whatever corresponds in your language) and set it to console host.

I always have and had this . It’s because it was compiled as a msys app or something i thought .
(Is there still a thing like WinMain() vs main() ? 
).
I like the windows terminal (the new app ) , and dont mind the console window that darktable opens . So be it 
But if I change the option that @apostel338 said, does something happen?
My guess is: if it was of any relevance for you, you would already know about it.
If you’re an ordinary casual user like me who usually doesn’t use/need the console at all, you don’t have to mind.
(regardless of the setting, of course, the new powershell remains available at all times.)

It changes what the default console application is in windows. To handle text mode stuff.
Most people won’t care , even people who know about this stuff :).
It’s not an option that can give issues or do damage at least.
