Find out where the compiler puts a.exe,
and then open a window there,
and then run a.exe from that window, instead of from the IDE.

Did you try using getch() as the last statement of your main.

Since getch() is not a standard C function, use getchar() instead.

Obviously, some code expecting you to press the Enter key before
continuing. Even as a beginner you should be able to figure it out.

Or, don't bother at all and keep a console window permanently open.
Rebuild the program from the IDE, but execute it from your console.

The OP will probably need two of them if they are reading input with scanf.

If the code only has one getchar call, it will typically swallow the newline left in the
stream and the program will exit immediately (closing the window) as before.

Correct, but actually I use this as a test from time to time:
if the program didn't stop on the final getchar(), I know my
code failed to correctly consume all given input.

Or try
system("pause");
you need to include <stdlib.h>
