multiple command shells launching and covering browser when launching Chrome on Windows

Describe the bug

When I run a test, multiple command prompts for chrome.exe popup and cover the browser.

Sample test

sampleTest.js

```js // Please add the sample test here describe("home", () => { it("home page", (browser) => { browser.url("https://facebook.com"); browser.pause(); }); }); ```

Run with command

$ nightwatch test/sampleTest.js -e chrome

Verbose output
