How to not diaappear cmd after running cmd command on dialog box, #cmd #pause #stop #break #dialogbox #win+r

 To prevent the Command Prompt window from closing immediately after running a command, you can use several methods. Here are a few common techniques:

### Method 1: Using `cmd /k`

The `/k` switch tells `cmd` to run the specified command and then return to the command prompt.

1. **Open the Run Dialog Box**:

   - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog box.

2. **Enter the Command**:

   - Type your command followed by `/k` and press Enter. For example:

     ```shell

     cmd /k ipconfig

     ```

   - This will run `ipconfig` and then keep the Command Prompt window open so you can see the output.

### Method 2: Using `cmd /c` and `pause`

The `/c` switch tells `cmd` to run the specified command and then terminate. You can combine this with the `pause` command to keep the window open.

1. **Open the Run Dialog Box**:

   - Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog box.

2. **Enter the Command**:

   - Type your command followed by `&& pause` and press Enter. For example:

     ```shell

     cmd /c ipconfig && pause

     ```

   - This will run `ipconfig` and then display a message saying "Press any key to continue . . .". The window will stay open until you press a key.

### Method 3: Using a Batch File

You can create a simple batch file to run your command and keep the window open.

1. **Create a Batch File**:

   - Open Notepad (or any text editor) and type your command followed by `pause`.

     ```batch

     ipconfig

     pause

     ```

   - Save the file with a `.bat` extension, for example, `run_command.bat`.

2. **Run the Batch File**:

   - Double-click the batch file, or run it from the Command Prompt.

### Method 4: Using `PowerShell`

You can also use PowerShell to run a command and keep the window open.

1. **Open PowerShell**:

   - Press `Win + X` and select **Windows PowerShell** or **Windows PowerShell (Admin)**.

2. **Enter the Command**:

   - Type your command followed by `Read-Host` to keep the window open. For example:

     ```powershell

     ipconfig; Read-Host "Press any key to exit"

     ```

   - This will run `ipconfig` and then display a message saying "Press any key to exit". The window will stay open until you press a key.

By using any of these methods, you can prevent the Command Prompt window from closing immediately after running a command, allowing you to see the output and perform any necessary follow-up actions.
