title: Turn off console quick edit mode in node.js for windows
body: <p>The windows console feature &quot;Quick edit mode&quot; which is enabled by default in Windows 10 is problematic for node.js scripts running with console output because if the user highlights any text in the console, the node process will pause before the next console.log command.</p>
  <p>How can a node.js script disable quick edit mode? I have come up with one method that involves invoking an external executable (c++ source, compiled with mingw) but maybe someone knows of a better way?</p>
