Command prompt : Move running process to background

1

In most Linux shells, you can "stop" a running process foreground with CtrlZ and use bg to move it into the background.

What's the Command Prompt equivalent? This should be a duplicate but I couldn't find it.

It's not possible. The nearest equivalent is How can I execute a Windows command line in background?

Start your process like this:

Start /B someCommand -v

Then to bring it back enter:

exit

Which exits the foreground cmd.exe and brings back the background process.
