• Windows 7 Professional 32bit
• node v11.0.0

# CommandPrompt

Electron 4.0.0-beta.5 - Build cross platform desktop apps with JavaScript, HTML,
 and CSS
Usage: electron [options] [path]

A path to an Electron app may be specified. It must be one of the following:
  - index.js file.
  - Folder containing a package.json file.
  - Folder containing an index.js file.
  - .html/.htm file.
  - http://, https://, or file:// URL.

Options:
  -i, --interactive     Open a REPL to the main process.
  -r, --require         Module to preload (option can be repeated).
  -v, --version         Print the version.
  -a, --abi             Print the Node ABI version.

After this, the focus is out of the CMD window, but Electron window does not appear.

Cause

Node.js v11.0.0 later, the default for the windowsHide option has become true.

• child_process.spawn() - Node.js

As a result, it will be activated in hidden state with proc.spawn () in cli.js.

// node_modules/electron/cli.js
var child = proc.spawn(electron, process.argv.slice(2), { stdio: 'inherit' })

To Fix

// node_modules/electron/cli.js
var child = proc.spawn(electron, process.argv.slice(2), { stdio: 'inherit', windowsHide: false })

Could you please fix the branch?
Thank you.
