I think that code has problems.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nTry this user startup.py:\r\n\r\n```py\r\ntry:\r\n    \r\n    startup_already_ran\r\n    print('NOT running startup things a second time')\r\n\r\nexcept:\r\n\r\n    startup_already_ran = True\r\n    print('running startup things...')\r\n\r\n    console.show()\r\n```\r\n\r\n(note that the try/except wrapper is because of this other bug: #339 )\r\n\r\nExit Notepad++ with the console window showing and restart.  At restart the console window will NOT be shown.  Removing the `console.show()` line in the script results in correct persistence behavior of the console window.\r\n\r\n---\r\n\r\nNotepad++ Debug Info:\r\n```txt\r\nNotepad++ v8.6.8   (64-bit)\r\nBuild time : Jun  4 2024 - 00:30:00\r\nPath : C:\\NotepadPlusPlus\\Misc\\_NoBackup\\Releases\\npp.8.6.8\\npp.8.6.8.portable.x64\\notepad++.exe\r\nCommand Line : -titleAdd=\"8.6.8 64-bit\" -multiInst\r\nAdmin mode : OFF\r\nLocal Conf mode : ON\r\nCloud Config : OFF\r\nPeriodic Backup : ON\r\nOS Name : Windows 11 Pro (64-bit)\r\nOS Version : 23H2\r\nOS Build : 22631.3737\r\nCurrent ANSI codepage : 1252\r\nPlugins : \r\n    mimeTools (3.1)\r\n    NppConverter (4.6)\r\n    NppExport (0.4)\r\n    PythonScript (3.0.18)\r\n```","author":{"url":"https://github.com/alankilborn","@type":"Person","name":"alankilborn"},"datePublished":"2024-06-14T12:05:28Z","url":"https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues/340"}
