Because of the funky way this embeds terminal into Notepad++, it essentially acts as a separate application. Using the shortkey key a user assigns to "NppConsole Show" menu item, can either show/hide or now show/switch-to, activate the panel. Since then you are locked into that console, you can use `Alt+Tab` to get back to Notepad++ since again, this is essentially a separate process running inside a Notepad++ plugin dockable.

…ation (#1) Changes Fixed BSOD occurring when exiting Notepad++ Moved console process termination from the destructor to the timing when the NPPN_SHUTDOWN message is received Updated to the latest Notepad++ plugin template Cause On Windows 11 24H2 (June 2025), a BSOD occurs if the console process termination is too slow. Based on observed behavior, we suspect kernel-level changes are involved, though the exact root cause is not yet confirmed. Solution Changed termination of the console process to occur immediately when closing the window Waited up to 3000ms to confirm console process termination (avoids infinite wait to prevents Notepad++ from freezing) Added process and thread handle closure, which had previously been missing This change prevents BSOD on Windows 11 24H2 and ensures stable shutdown behavior.
