I started having an issue a few days ago with Blender. When starting up the program it runs the console and it never goes away, it stays like the image. I can still use the program, but i don't know why this is happening. Any solution? Image of the console

Same here, since a few days – due to a Windows 11 update, I think.

Anyway, to start Blender without the console, you can run blender-launcher.exe. It's in the same directory as your blender.exe.

  • This is awesome to know, thanks! The only downside: if you want to keep Blender pinned to your taskbar, you'll have to pin blender-launcher.exe which will result in a duplicate blender icon once Blender is launched and running. – Gamepad.Coder Nov 08 '23 at 03:22

The previous answer to this question did not work for me, but this does.

Go into Windows settings > Privacy & Security > For Developers > Terminal and in the drop down menu change from "Let Windows decide" to "Windows Console Host"

enter image description here

    Thanks a lot for this! It solved my issue – Juan Cruz Marino May 05 '23 at 12:28
  • Thanks, solved! I use the new Windows Terminal, and this setting can also be changed in-app: Settings -> Startup -> Default terminal application -> Windows Console Host -> Save. Blender console now disappears after blender.exe launch is complete! – Gamepad.Coder Nov 08 '23 at 03:26
