[issue38533] v3.7.5 py script run ok with python.exe but not pythonw.exe (python silent console not working)

[Steve Dower]

Can you try installing https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe and then see if it makes a difference?

At least one package in 3.8 still contained a dependency on the C++ runtime, which we do not include, and it's possible that 3.7.5 had the same issue. Both will be fixed in the next updates, but the workaround is to install the file above.
