How do I prevent PysimpleGUI from closing the window

Question

For some reason, even though I'm not sure why it's doing that, my program just closes the window instead of it doing what I want it to do

   while True:
     event, values = main_window.read()
     if event in (None,"Exit"):
         break
     if event == 'GPU info':
         print('cool')
     main_window.close()

Any clues to how I change its behaviour to hide or do nothing when I press a button that is not exit?

Please update your question with the correct indentation from your actual code. — quamrana, Nov 07 '20 at 13:03
Now it looks like ‘main_window.close()’ is inside your loop. Did you mean to unindent just that line? — quamrana, Nov 07 '20 at 13:11
Oh my god. I'm so stupid. I literally spent the last hour on this and i had no idea why. I'm new to Python's indentation oriented reading and this is one hard lesson learned — eyal gelberg, Nov 07 '20 at 13:13
You're NOT stupid. I've spent much more than an hour due to a bad ";" in a C program. You're human and a programmer... welcome to the club — Mike from PSG, Aug 13 '22 at 14:56

main_window.close() is in the while loop.

I think you should make your explanation of how this causes the problem and how to fix it more obvious. – Yunnosch Aug 12 '22 at 22:22

Explanation - how this causes the problem: `close` closes the window INSIDE the while loop. The obvious fix: Move it out of the while loop. – Mike from PSG Aug 13 '22 at 14:55
