Unable to use the command prompt as a console

[we177524]

With vanilla, you're able to start the server with a .bat file, and console output is put into the command window. For some reason, I am unable to get that to happen with forge. 

Content of my server folder:

  Reveal hidden contents

Start.bat:

  Reveal hidden contents

@echo off
echo Starting Server!
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_212\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx2G -Xms2G -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2768-universal.jar nogui
pause

And output after running:

  Reveal hidden contents

Upon checking ~/logs, the output files there are what i would expect to be shown in the console, IE server startup messages, and other info such as players joining.

I have tried using both the latest and recommended forge files (builds #2838 and #2768) both giving me identical results. All google results Ive gotten so far either tell me to add pause to my start.bat, which is already there, or where a specific issue with forge. The command window will close upon pressing any keys, but the server does not stop, stopping must be done through Task Manager, as even though I've added my username to the ops.json file, it resets to blank when i restart the server. 

 

Any help of info would be greatly appreciated!
