System Information
Operating system: windows
Graphics card: AMD 6600 XT

Blender Version
Broken: 4.5 via windows store

Short description of error
When launching Blender, a terminal window is LEFT RUNNING BEHIND THE MAIN WINDOW.

This is bad behavior for a Windows app.

Choose a better solution:
A. use the & switch at the end of the bash script command to separate the app instance from the terminal instance.
B. stop launching Blender using archaic terminal methods that only serve to undermine any confidence a user has in Blender's ability to perform modern tasks competently in a modern computing environment.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).

Think this is already handled in infrastructure/blender-buildbot#88613 (Update Steam/Windows Store to use blender-launcher), will merge reports

Thank you. And sorry I never found the task using search. Keywords were not what I was expecting.
