Unless you tell us what you have already done and told us the problem we are likely just to tell you to try the same things. Google for the solutions that you haven't already tried and try them.

For a console application:

C#

while (Console.KeyAvailable) 
{
    Console.ReadKey();
}

For a GUI application handle keyboard events and ignore them as required. See How Keyboard Input Works[^].

Not for console.
It is for windows forms

Well, you did not tell us what kind of application.
So I have answered for both types.

Because there is no single solution for GUI applications, I provided a link. Once you have read that and understand how keyboard input is working for Windows forms applications, you may refine your question (or recognise that discarding keyboard input from the user might be a bad idea).
