A simpler solution would be to increase the number of lines you windows console remembers. If you click on the icon on the top left corner of the console you can change the preferences for the window, including increasing the number of lines recorded, and the width of the window.

It has been a while since I coded under windows, but as I recall, the default was 300 lines, and I always changed it to at least 3_000, sometimes more.

While you are in that menu, I would enable quick edit mode, as it makes it a lot easer to cut and paste stuff. (Such as pasting your error message into another post here). (Make sure you use <code> tags).
