Scrivener 3.1.5.1
Windows 11 Home 22H2 (10.0.22621 Build 22621)
My old Windows 10 laptop died, so I bought a new one and the newest version of Scrivener. Now when I open Scrivener, I see a persistent command prompt open that lists all kinds of useless information I, as the user, don’t care about. For example:

I’m also seeing all kinds of information about fonts that are loaded, some libpng and, strangely, SQL errors (INSERT INTO Snapshots), none of which I care about. (I don’t care if fonts are loaded as long as they are, nor that there is “No Postscript name” for them; libpng errors just mean one or more images I’ve embedded in my project are using the wrong library, which isn’t a huge issue, and I’m not going to waste my time fixing them; and I’m assuming the SQL errors are coming from some part of the application I can’t do anything about because I don’t seem to have a problem with my backups).
Why in the world is this command prompt even visible and how can I stop Scrivener from opening it? (FYI: If I close the command prompt, it closes Scrivener.) No end user should have to see the inner workings of an application, and this has only been a problem on Windows 11 with this specific Scrivener version.
Anyone have any idea what I can do about this?
