Is there an equivalent command in Powershell (windows terminal) for pausing execution similar to Unix CTRL+Z?

If yes, what is the equivalent command to resume it, similar to the fg command?

The question says "pause", but Ctrl+Z/fg actually relates to background jobs: a method of running and switching between multiple programs from a single console.
Sorry, what keys do I hit for "Pause Break"?
Nice pic, I'm using a mac and doing remote desktop. I'll try to google equivalent key on mac.
If the remote desktop is a windows machine, you can launch an on-screen keyboard with c:\Windows\System32\osk.exe
