  When /H parameter is used while starting pcsws.exe emulator
  session, the session is started in hidden mode. Through
  SE51224, changes were made to retain the emulator session
  windows size across session restart. Due to these changes, the
  /H switch stopped working.
  

Problem conclusion

• Additional code changes were made in PCSWS.EXE to restore the
  /H switch functionality.
