title: C# Console Application - cmd.exe hangs
body: <p>I am having issues with running a simple C# Console Application in Visual Studio 2013.</p>
  
  <p>Details of my problem: I was running Console Applications successfully with the default "Press any key to continue" displaying cleanly at the end. Suddenly it started behaving differently with the following symptoms:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>A new command window (cmd.exe) opening alongside my Console Application (this wasn't happening in the past)</p></li>
  <li><p>My Console Application closing abruptly without the default clean "Press any key" message</p></li>
  <li><p>cmd.exe hangs and I am unable to close it, even through the Task Manager -> End Process</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>My System Properties:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate</li>
  <li>Windows 8, x64</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>This is my Console Application code just to show that it isn't a problem in my code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class Program
  {
          static void Main(string[] args)
          {
              RegularTest();      
          }
          private static void RegularTest()
          {
              Console.WriteLine("This is the Regular Test. It works!");
          }
  }
  </code></pre>
