It can't be super annoying. This is known for several months, and there is
no bug entry targeted to 2.1.0 (if my search was correct there is no bug
entry at all about this problem).
I've lived with this for months now (on Windows 7). It is an irritation
but only a minor one. It doesn't affect only the launch of a pdf viewer
but also other formats where, in the File Formats window, in the Viewer
slots, an explicit program is named (like pdfview). If instead Custom
and auto are placed in these slots (so that as I understand it Windows
uses its default viewers) the command window is not present.
For instance, under the format LyX in the Viewer slots I have put Custom
and notepad++ (a Windows text editor). Clicking on the View other
formats > View LyX button displays the LyX file in its native format in
the text editor but with the command window also showing. However, if I
make notepad++ the default .lyx file viewer in Windows and change the
Viewer slots to Custom and auto, save and now click View other formats
> View LyX, notepad++ is launched, displaying the LyX file in its
native format but with no command window showing. (Incidentally this
makes a good alternative to the Source pane for viewing LyX files in
native format.)
