How to prevent the Output window in VS from disappearing?

when I press Start to run my application in VS 2017 Community my Output window disappears. (I use it for i.e. Debug.WriteLine().)
How to prevent this?

P.S. The output window I`m refering to (not the command line window!): The output window

Thanks

On Menu Bar: Tools -> Options

A Pop-up window appears:

Debugging -> General -> Automatically close the console(scroll down to last)

Check the box and close

It applied to projects for visual studio.

Press Any Key to Continue...

After starting your application (debug mode), click View > Output (Ctrl + Alt + O) to show the output window. Stop your application and restart Visual Studio. Next time you run your application the output window should be visible automatically because Visual Studio remembers your opened windows in debug mode.

Prevent it from autohiding using the 'Auto hide' icon in the right top corner (center of the three) of the Output window. That way it will stay docked.

You can make it a docked tab before running your program
