visual studio 2015 console does not wait for key

Question

Using ctrl+F5, the program finishes and the console closes without waiting for input. I cannot use

int tmp;
cin>>tmp;   

I had ticked an option in VS2013 which makes the console wait for a key, but I can't find it in VS2015.

Answer 1

Ensure that the project has the "SubSystem" property set to "Console". This can be found in the project properties under Linker > System.
