Using Windows Terminal as default, the Hide console option doesn't work

Bug Report

What's the issue you encountered?

If a user set Windows Terminal as default (replacing the classic Command Prompt), the Hide console option doesn't work.
In addition, ticking that option will show a tiny window.

Edit: runing Ryujinx as admin uses command prompt instead of terminal, thus hiding the console.

How can the issue be reproduced?

1. Install Windows Terminal from Microsoft Store.
2. Open it, click the down-arrow button > Settings. In Default terminal application choose Windows Terminal.
3. Open Ryujinx as usual.

Log file

Don't think this is needed, more likely related to the code that is responsible for hiding console.

Environment?

• Ryujinx version: 1.1.85
• System Specs:
  • OS: Happens on Windows 11, build 22581.200.
    Someone can test this on Windows 10 or earlier Win 11 version to see if this happens.

Additional context?

Screenshots of the issue:

After checking the PR #3170 I found that GetConsoleWindow doesn't work with Windows Terminal, thus failing to hide the console with it. On official docs it seems like this is by design and therefore we can't do anything about it.

If Windows terminal is your default, whatever the reason. A workaround to get ryujinx to still use the "traditional" console host is to start ryujonx from the console host.

Easiest way to do that if you've installed ryujinx, is to change a shortcut used to launch it.

On the target field, add "conhost.exe" before the pull path to the ryyujinx executable.
You will have to change the icon afterwards, because it will then take the one of conhost.

I agree it's not a long term solution, but it should solve a couple issues.

(was originally posted in #3779, but I think this workaround is better suited to this issue)

Windows Terminal is the default on Windows 11.

Have u found a fix yet?

[Squall-Leonhart]

the default is actually "Let Windows Decide" which means there must be some way to Hint that you want Conhost.

Console hiding now has some underpinning work added to the windows terminal
