How to get node.js console to pause in Visual Studio 2017?

Question

I'm using Visual Studio 2017 with the built in tools support for node.js. I want to be able to create a empty console node.js project and run the debugger and see the console window output.

However, when I run it, it opens the console and runs the script so quickly I cannot see what it is doing.

I have followed previous questions (Node.js console gets closed immediately after i execute the program from Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8)

and have gone into Tools > Options > Node.js and have all three options checked:

Wait for input when process exits abnormally

Wait for input when process exits normally

Enable Edit and Continue

Although I have all three options checked, The behavior does not change. Could someone please help?

thanks

I tried, It works with ctrl + F5 After checking all three options in debug -> options -> Node.js Tools
