Retroarch cmd window stays open ever since I ran verbose logging

At one point I ran retroarch from the cmdline and enabled verbose logging and saved it to a file.

However, now whenever I double click the normal retroarch executable without such logging specified, a cmd prompt stays open and logs stuff to that window.

What is going on and have do I prevent this cmd window from popping up? Its ruins the big box ui by popping up and displaying everytime I quit a game.
