When pressing ctrl f5, "start without debugging" (run without attaching the debugger), it waits for a key press in the end of execution. How do I disable it so it would work like f5 (no pause)?

They added a checkbox to automatically close the console in debug but not for non-debug exec?

The issue seems to be fixed in VS2022. As noted here the option "Close console when debugging ends" in the debug settings works also when starting without debugging, but apparently only for VS2022. The text of the option is misleading (probably somebody forgot to update that when the behavior was changed) but it seems the new behavior is desired.
