It seems the bitcoind is the server starting up.Anyone else with the same problem you just need to open one more shell.

I used mingw.
First shell.
Use "bitcoind -regtest -daemon" to start the bitcoin server.

Leave the first shell open and open a second one also.
Use "bitcoin-cli -regtest" then space your "command"

example
"bitcoin-cli -regtest getblockcount"

to stop the first shell normally use this on the second shell.
"bitcoin-cli -regtest stop"
