After installing Meshlab, starting "cmd" says MeshLabServer

After installing Meshlab, a run "cmd" brings up a window that used to be titled "Command Prompt" but is now titled "MeshLabServer" and starts in C:\Program Files\VCG\MeshLab.

Uninstalling MeshLab does NOT put it back.

I'd rather MeshLab didn't mess with run "cmd" at all. If it wants a command prompt window pointing to C:\Program Files\VCG\Meshlab, make a separate entry (in, I assume, the Registry).

Please tell me how to put this back to "normal".

Just go to Start menu and right-click on this "cmd" (Mesh Lab Server now). Choose Open file location. The only thing you should do is remove Meshlab Server shortcut. Now you have normal command prompt. Worked without any rebooting for me :)

I also had this issue! After some searching, I found this issue on GitHub, where someone gives a solution. Basically, MeshLab puts a link to cmd.exe in the Start Menu, which overrides the usual cmd.exe. The fix for this is to delete the MeshLabServer.lnk shortcut, which should be in one of these two directories (for me, it was in the second):

%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MeshLab
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MeshLab

After a reboot, the issue was fixed.
