How to resume execution after pressing pause/break key in windows command line

Whilst compiling a rather huge python extension in cmd with the command pip install. I wanted to pause and look at some of the output, so I pressed the Pause / Break key on my keyboard.

Pressing the key again did nothing and looking in task manager revealed that cl.exe (The current running process in the terminal) was at 0% instead of 100% CPU load. So it appears the compiler process was quite definitely paused midway.

How do I resume the execution, because I don't want to rerun the entire compilation again.

Ctrl+Z will resume a paused terminal.

I cant find any documentation about this for windows, but I tried it and it seems to work.
