Has it happened to you that you wrote a C# program (a Console Application) but it did nothing when you ran it?

• Running it from VS Code works
• Running it using dotnet run works
• But if you run the .exe it does nothing. There is no error. It just exits.

It happened to me. The issue was this: in the .csproj file I had:

<OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>

change it to:

<OutputType>Exe</OutputType>

and then it will work!
