According to our docs, the package we use for hiding the console window (node-hide-console-window) does not support hiding Windows Terminal. I can reproduce the same on Windows 10 using Windows Terminal.

Opening an issue to keep track of this and because it's something I'd like to look into in the future.

It turns out that Windows Terminal doesn't support being hidden completely (only minimized) because it supports multiple tabs in one window, according to this issue (nothing has really been fixed in the linked PR as far as I can tell).

I believe the best course of action would be to force Simbridge to always start in conhost through the installer, similar to what's described here.

I edited the shortcut in shell:startup and that does indeed allow Simbridge to be hidden to tray.

For reference for others, I simply prepended the path in the fbw-simbridge shortcut with conhost

@drepamig thanks for testing this out! I am looking into integrating this into the installer so that it always runs in conhost, without you having to take any action so I'm glad to know that it works.
