Windows selected app launch should hide subprocess windows #31938
Description
Description
While checking #31629, I found a related Windows Desktop path: opening a file with a selected app can spawn subprocesses for app resolution or launch. Before the fix in #31933, this path did not consistently use hidden subprocess creation.
The issue is to make this path use hidden subprocess creation so it cannot create a console window when the resolved command is a console program or shim.
This is separate from the shell tool and MCP subprocess path described in #31629.

Current dev while investigating #31629.
Steps to reproduce
- On Windows Desktop, open a file with a selected app.
- Trigger selected app resolution or launch through a console executable or shim, such as
where,.cmd, or.bat. - This path should hide those subprocesses consistently.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

where) not covered by #31629, it may still be a valid distinct issue — but please confirm with the maintainers whether this should be tracked as a follow-up on #31629 instead.[-]Windows selected app launch can flash subprocess console windows[/-][+]Windows selected app launch should hide subprocess windows[/+]github-actions commentedon Aug 11, 2026
