Launch Kit file from shortcut without console

Omniverse General Discussion

Hello:
I’ve created an extension, and am running it from a shortcut on the desktop with the target set to:

“c:\Program Files.…\kit.exe” “C:\path\to\my.kit”

but when running that shortcut, it opens what appears to be windows terminal printing the output and an interactive prompt. Is there any way to launch that kit file without the windows terminal through either a setting or windows option? I’d like to only have one window in the start bar which would be the extensions UI.
Thank you!

Yes this is completely normal. All of our kit apps and extension tend to open the windows command (CMD) console. It mirrors the console built into our kit apps. There might be an option to turn it off. Let me find out.
