+# Windows
+
+On Windows Proxydetox is _not_ a console application and therefor no console window is visible.
+No console window is shown, such that Proxydetox can be launched as a background process without any disturbing windows.
+
+The missing console windows also has the effect, that when Proxydetox is launched from the terminal no output is visible.
+The help output as well as the log output is affected by this. An online version of the help output can be found in the
+[command line reference](cliref.md) section.
+
+Additionally there is the `--attach-console` options on Windows builds of Proxydetox to attach to the parrent console.
+When running Proxydetox from the Windows command prompt, add the `--attach-console` optin to be able to see the output.
