Answer 1

if you're using ppapi-flash (pepper flash) then the first time you load a web-page that uses flash you may see a console window open.

The only known work-around for this is to play with Cef sandboxing modes, but CefSharp specifically has no support for sandboxing and if you want more control over it you would need to bootstrap Cef through a custom VC++ layer. Read more about the upstream issue here .

It is also possible to use a version of chromium before v45 and enable npapi as an alternative to pepper. This is the release of CefSharp that still uses chromium 43, and npapi can be enabled via the following configuration .
