How to close the console on the Windows？

You may need to select windows as the windows Subsystem instead of rust’s console default, using the windows_subsystem attribute.

So basically inserting this into your main.rs should do the trick:

#![windows_subsystem = "windows"]

You can also make this conditional so that you can still see debug output in debug builds:

#![cfg_attr(not(debug_assertions), windows_subsystem = "windows")]

Thank you. You solved my problem！

How would we do this in a C++ example?

You need to pass WIN32 to add_executable:

You can add the WIN32 option in your CMakeLists.txt as follows:

add_executable(my_application WIN32 src/main.cpp)

Or open project's Properties-Link-System-SubSystem in your visual studio, change SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE to SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS

And change your main function to WinMain in your main.cpp:

#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
    // Write your application logic here. The console window will not be displayed.
    return 0;
}
