Sorry to be pedantic, but the correct term for the native Windows build of 
fossil.exe really is “console application,” not “command line tool.”  

It is exactly the same distinction as on a Unix box, where the shell and the 
terminal are not the same thing, even though they appear to be a single 
application to a GUI user.

cmd.exe is the command line interpreter, and the console is the Windows 
subsystem that runs the white-on-black I/O window.

The only reason I’m being pedantic about this is that I suspect the GPE setting 
is blocking cmd.exe, not the Console.  I’d test it here, but GPE on the desktop 
version of Windows 10 (the test VM I have nearest at hand) doesn’t have the 
setting I linked to previously.
