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. Commented Oct 6, 2021 at 16:07

    However, if you pin runemacs.exe to taskbar, clicking it will open a separate emacs item in taskbar, not overlaying. Overall I don't understand why the hassle of creating that cmd window in the first place. Commented Mar 4, 2024 at 0:00
