Try pressing the insert key.

Also check the shortcut used to open a command prompt.
Properties, Options, Insert mode
to change the default action.

To ensure it stays in insert mode, right click on the OS title bar and
choose properties. Under options/edit options, check insert mode.

And when you exit tell it to "Apply to shortcut that launched
this program" (not just this instance.)
