Visual C++ 2010: Start without debugging automatically closes console window

Question

Good day!

I've encountered a strange issue when writing simple console application in Visual C++ 2010 - when I pressed Ctrl+F5 to see the results of my program, console window had automatiacally closed. Also, I've tried this from main menu (Start without debugging), but result is the same - console keeps closing automatically.

My program is empty project, my OS is Windows 7 32 bit.

Answer 1

Hello,

Please right click your project name and go to Properties page, please expand Configuration Properties -> Linker -> System, please select Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE) in SubSystem dropdown. Because, by default, the Empty project does not specify it.

Have a good day!

Answer 2

Thank you very much, it works.

Answer 3

This works for one project. But how can I make this change universal and not tied to a specific project. I don't want to apply the same setting for each individual project. It's annoying specially since the previous versions of MSVC did not have this limitation.

Answer 4

This solution didn't work for me. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Answer 5

This did not work for me either.  Cannot find anything to unmark.  This is not an answer
