title: Visual Studio 2017 Code Output Not Showing
body: <p>I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Community and I've faced the problem of the output of my code not displaying.</p>
  
  <p>Before, when I run C code (usually with Ctrl+F5), the output would be displayed on the output window, but for some reason now when I do it there is no output (a command prompt-like window literally blinks and disappears).</p>
  
  <p>I haven't changed anything and I'm really confused as to why this error is occurring. Does anybody have any ideas why?</p>
  
  <p>Here's the screen after writing a simple "Hello World" program and pressing Ctrl+F5.</p>

  <p>My code output would normally appear in the console box on the bottom, but now it just shows the build results.</p>
  
  <p>When I create a new project, I click on Empty Project, then add an item and save it as a .c source code. I've been using the same method but have suddenly encountered a problem.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
