When I try to run my C++ codes using the start without debugging option in Microsoft Visual Studio, I get a blank window. I don't know why this is happening. I posted a screenshot of what has been happening anytime I try to run anything using the 'start without debugging' option. Any help would be appreciated

First BUILD the application in Visual Studio. Then run the application using start without debugging.

Also, try to include system("PAUSE") in the code.

So, your code should be

int main()
{
  cout<<"Hello world!"<<endl;
  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;
}

  • I did build the application. When I try to run the program, however, using start without debugging I get a blank window as you have seen in the picture. (Hello World does not show up) I changed the code to the one you have provided and it does not change anything. Any further help is appreciated! – Confused Duck Nov 20 '15 at 11:05
  • Please make sure if the application is built. Because when you see the exe path on the window, it shows the `cmd.exe` and not the application's exe you have created. – The Apache Nov 20 '15 at 11:20
  • How did you build your application and are you sure that there aren't any errors? – The Apache Nov 20 '15 at 11:21
