Calls ‘suspend-emacs’ if invoked from the controlling tty device, ‘suspend-tty’ from a secondary tty device, and ‘iconify-or-deiconify-frame’ from a graphical frame. The documentation of suspend-emacs says: Stop Emacs and return to superior process. You can resume later. If ‘cannot-suspend’ is non-nil, or if the system doesn’t support job control, run a subshell instead. MSWindows' shell has no job control, so probably cannot-suspend is t, which means that C-z runs a subshell. If you exit from that subshell (by typing `exit', for instance) you should go back to Emacs.
