Webview2 doesn't work on WinUI3 if you set the "Output type" of the app to Console

What happened?

Setting Output type of the WinUI3 app to "Console" should work exactly like "windows app" with an additional console window, but webview2 doesn't work if the output type is set to Console. It is fine for me without using console but that makes debugging harder.

No response

Start with the WinUI3 blank-app reproduction described in the issue, following the Microsoft Learn WebView2 setup and changing the project Output type to Console. Compare WebView2 behavior with the default Windows app output using the stated SDK and runtime versions. Done means WebView2 works while the application also opens its console window.
