Sorry I forgot to add this detail.

I use Win+R emacs-w32 ENTER.

If I start from terminal (cmd.exe or mintty) it works as in your case.

But otherwise "ConsoleWindowClass" (from spy++) window is opened (like cmd.exe
but without working prompt) along with regular Emacs windows.

Closing that window also closes Emacs.

I try:

  #include <windows.h>
  int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, PSTR lpCmdLine, INT nCmdShow) {
      MessageBoxW(NULL, L"Hello", L"Ok", MB_OK);
      return 0;
  }

with:

  gcc -Wl,--subsystem,windows -o mb.exe mb.c

and on:

   Win+R C:\home\my\tmp\mb.exe ENTER

I don't see console window.

I don't know if it is possible to link emacs-w32 with --subsystem=windows.

mintty.exe has dependency on cygwin1.dll and does not bring up cmd-like
console along with xterm console.
