It says emacs/bin/emacs.exe. If it's not necesarily useful, I'd like to stop it from starting with emacs. The extra window is messing me up a bit.

Instead of opening emacs.exe directly, open runemacs.exe. This will open Emacs without the extra window in the background.

    The Windows installer for Emacs actually creates the shortcut to Emacs as `runemacs.exe`, yet the `cmd.exe` window still opens at launch time. – dennismayr Oct 06 '21 at 16:07
