Why does a cmd prompt window open everytime I open Fusion360?

Why does a cmd prompt window open everytime I open Fusion360? (See attached image, O/S: Windows 11)

This is extremely annoying, uninstalling doesn't fix, installing on another computer works. So what is causing this to pop up every time, and how do I disable? (I did have QTCreator installed at one point, the other computer I tested does not have this, could this be an issue?)

Any insight would be very much appreciated!

Just a guess. Look at your Add-Ins, do you have one called DevTools? If so, uncheck the "Run on Startup" box.

Thank you for the quick reply, unfortunately I didnt have DevTools listed. I had a couple of the ones you have listed (parts4cad) and tried to remove them from startup but alas this didnt help either. One other difference is the computer has EAGLE installed at one point and the other computer did not, so maybe it is something to do with that as well.

I do hope another member has run into something similar and has some suggestions like you did ( I was hopping you nailed it!)

Thank you again for trying to help out!
