# Troubleshooting

This topic provides general troubleshooting information - please refer to the [Output Codes](/features/output-codes.md) topic for more specific details.

## Test writing pauses unexpectedly

The combination of a Windows terminal and a mouse event problem can occasionally cause test writing to be paused, until the `Enter` key is pressed. This is a problem with Windows, but Diffblue can suggest the following workarounds:

* Use the `Enter` key as required.
* Disable `QuickEdit Mode` in the Windows terminal. To do this, right click on the **Title bar**, choose **Properties**, select the **Options** tab, uncheck **QuickEdit Mode**, and click **OK**.
* Redirect the tests to be written to a file instead, by using the command `dcover create > output.txt` (where `output.txt` is the file to which you would like the tests to be written). Using `--batch` is recommended so that the output is readable. Note that pressing the `Enter` key will always ensure that your test writing continues.
