How do I keep the Splunk CLI from disappearing in Windows so I can read the output?

[behudelson]

Hi I have two Splunk deployments, one running Splunk 7.1.0 on Windows Server 2016 and Splunk 7.1.2 on Windows 10. When I run Splunk from the bin folder, or any Splunk command, I see the Splunk window open, but then it immediately closes. I would like to have the window remain open so I can read the output. Am I running the wrong command to open the CLI? Thank you!

Try using 'Run as Administrator' to open the command window then run your Splunk commands.
