Why Is My Visual Studio 2015 C Console Blank Despite Successful Compilation?

Console Glitch: Empty Console When Running C Code

Users attempting to run C code in Visual Studio 2015 encounter an enigmatic issue where the console remains blank despite successful compilation. This anomaly has particularly stumped those who notice a flashing underscore, suggesting the program is not halting prematurely. Additionally, attempts to debug the code result in Visual Studio freezing.

Numerous attempts to resolve this issue have been made, including reinstalling Visual Studio and running the code in different languages (such as Python and C#). However, these efforts have proven fruitless.

A recent breakthrough emerged through reports by users of gcc/mingw/cygwin. It was discovered that the culprit may lie in the use of Avast antivirus software. Upon disabling Avast, users experienced resolution of the console glitch.

If disabling Avast solves the issue, it is recommended to configure an exclusion for the "Visual Studio 2015Projects" directory in your antivirus settings. Alternatively, you could file a bug report with Avast or consider switching to a different antivirus software.
