Automatically pause the console application in c# - c#

I know I can use Console.ReadKey(); or Console.ReadLine(); to wait for the user input.
I am following some video tutorials from youTube
There I notice that when the tutor writes some code like
Console.WriteLine("This is a basic C# tutorial");
He gets a message saying Press any key to continue...
So, I want to know how to get the above message without writing any code for displaying the message.

Run without debugging sounds like what you want. Ctrl + F5.

Calling a method at any time in a console application based on certain key being pressed in c#?

I am trying to practice what I have learned so far in c# by creating random applications. I have been working on a Console text adventure style game.
I created a method to clear the screen after a user hits any key.
This works but I have been looking for a way to be able to call my method at any time during the console application when the user hits a certain key. That way I don't have to randomly call this method as I write the code for the game and can give the player the ability to do it when they feel ready to.
For example, I want to be able to tell them from the very beginning something like hit c at any time during the game to clear the screen without messing up where they currently are in the game. Is there any way to accomplish this?
or another example would be something like hit h at any time during the program to check your health?
Any ideas on how to make that work or what I need to look into to make either of those ideas work would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
static void clearScreen()
{
Console.WriteLine("\n Please press enter to clear the screen and continue");
Console.ReadLine();
Console.Clear();
}

Code to keep the command window open after code finishes executing

So I’m learning about C# with visual Studio, I wrote a small program kind of like a “hello world”,
I remember that with C++ md Java there is a conman you wrote at the end of your code o hav the command window stay on after the program finishes running. My question is, or C#, what is that code or command I’m supposed to write so that when I debug it and it runs the command window doesn’t closes after I finish with he user input?
You are looking for:
Console.Write("\nPress any key to continue... ");
Console.ReadLine();
This will keep window open until you press Enter key

Console.WriteLine stops execution on Windows 10 until I press enter

I found no solution/answer to this.
private void LogToConsole(EventLog eventLog)
{
var type = TypeToStringOfUniFormLength(eventLog.Type);
Console.WriteLine($"# {type} {eventLog.Message}");
}
This i my "Event-Logger" and i have a very special behaviour. Most of time it's works great. My Console (in console-application) is updated, but sometimes it just stops at the line "Console.Writeline...". The Console is not updated and the execution pauses there. When i click in the console and hit Enter. The Console is updated an the execution continues. There is no specific scenario to reproduce. Is anybody familiar with this error, or even has a solution to this. My next work arround is to just not use a console-app for this.
thank you for your help in advance.
Windows 10 console automatically enters the Mark/Selection mode when you click it(no need to right-click->Mark, like it is with earlier windows consoles).
This is what prevents the application from printing anything, but the application actually continues to work:
The application itself keeps running, but nothing is written to the
screen.
Then
When you exit the selection mode, the process will resume as normal.
If it is not the case, then you will have to debug/dump your application to determine the culprit.
