I've just updated via pacman, and now MSYS2 leaves an extra cmd window open in the background when I open an MSYS2 shell. I've noticed it open one in the background in the past, but it used to close immediately on its own. Now I have to switch over to it and execute "exit" to close it.

Specifics:
* I typically open the shell by search for the shortcut in the Windows Start Menu's search function.
* I'm opening using the "MSYS2 Shell" shortcut

There's a screenshot attached.

    Forgot to include my OS. Sorry. I've reproduced this on several Windows 7 machines and one Windows Server 2012 machine.

    I updated via pacman and it updated the filesystem package, but the issue persists. Should that have fixed it, or do I need to wait from that code to be built/released?

    You need change shortcuts - replace "/K" to "/C" switch
