And when I close the launcher after like 5 seconds a cmd pops up with a bunch of text - "Starting NvContainer Local System container...Loading fast-boot dependency... fast-boot ready Loading ExpressJS dependency... ExpressJS ready Loading HTTP dependency... Creating HTTP server... HTTP ready Loading Socket.IO dependency... Socket.IO ready Loading "on-finishe
