Solved Powershell/CMD select mode "pauses" server

    Clicking anywhere within a CMD or Powershell window will put the window into "select mode" which essentially freezes the server. (Doesn't allow anyone to join, makes it appear offline, and if done while players are on... well... it's no bueno.)

    I must have accidentally clicked in the window before minimizing it, and left my sever in this sate for a day in a half. Which ruined the server "up time," and didn't leave anyone all to happy with me.

    Now- I know this isn't Pocketmine's problem, but I was wondering if anyone had a workaround to stop this behavior from happening - outside of registry editing.

    If it matters, here is my home server info's-

    Windows Server version 1803 (Semi-Annual Channel) (Datacenter) OS Build 17134.1.180410-1804
    Using PWSH 6.1.0-preview.2, PHP 7.2.9 and Pocketmine 3.2.1

    Note- this will affect every version of windows however.

    I've made that attempt with both CMD and Powershell... nada. I have specific shortcuts all of my servers run from.

    Edit: I should mention - I'd prefer to use Powershell, I just mentioned CMD in my first post, as it is also affected.

    Disable QuickEdit mode (right click on title bar, go to options).

    If you want to disable it by default for every new powershell window you can change the registry and don't forget to reboot:

    Set the value of "QuickEdit" for both environments (64bit + 32bit) to "0".

    He mentioned that this solution is not okay for him.

    Oops, sorry - I didn't read carefully enough. Then I only know more complicated methods like doing it programmatically. I guess this is not what OP wants to know.

    @dktapps that one worked. Never would have thought to right click the title bar... that's an easy one to tell anyone else if ... for whatever reason... they ever have to restart the Powershell window.

    @SleepSpace9 it's all good, I just didn't want to remove quick edit mode for all of my Powershell windows going forward across the entire server. (I've got more than just Minecraft Servers running.)

    Thank you all! Another solved post!
