Execute Command not working in Geany (Windows 10)

I am really new to programming (actually trying to get this to work for my 1000 level intro C++ class) so I apologize for bad descriptions and lack of terminology.

I am having trouble getting a "Hello World" program to work on Geany. I have followed the instructions here http://wiki.geany.org/howtos/win32/getting-started , pretty much to the letter. My program gets a successful message when I hit compile/build. When I hit execute the terminal pops up but it is blank.

There is a flashing cursor in the spot where I would expect Hello World to be but instead it is blank, and I cannot type anything in the window. From what I've researched I think it may be a similar problem from here How do you make Execute do anything in Geany? but searches on changing the terminal form to work for windows has not yielded any results.

In fact, I have not found much help for Geany on windows at all, so if there is a better set of software to use that is pretty basic I would be interested, I am only really attached to Geany because that is what we will be using in class (on a Linux operating system)

Thanks for the help! John

Avast Antivirus does, in fact, cause Geany to fail execution of the program. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit using Geany 1.26 full installer with MinGW. I just shut down shields for 10 mins and this allowed the program to execute.

Thanks.
