Windows commands every power user should know about
Who is a power user? According to Google:
Power user: a knowledgeable and sophisticated user of computers.
If you consider yourself a sophisticated computer user, then you should know the following Windows commands:
- Device Manager:
devmgmt.msc - Disk Management:
diskmgmg.msc - Certificates Current User:
certmgr.msc - Services:
services.msc - MMC Console:
mmc - Programs and Features:
appwiz.cpl - Network Connections:
ncpa.cpl - Sign out:
logoff - Shutdown:
shutdown /s /t 0 - Restart:
shutdown /r /t 0 - Paint:
mspaint - Calculator:
calc - About Windows:
winver - File Explorer:
explorer - Task Manager:
taskmgr - Remote Desktop Connection:
mstsc
So, you won’t have to click through dozens of windows again to open the Network Connections dialog. Hit Win+R and type ncpa.cpl. And your done.
You want the old Programs and Features back, but Windows 10 is showing you the new UWP style feature-less unfinished App & features window? You don’t even find the Control panel anymore? Don’t worry. Run appwiz.cpl. Here you go. Thank me later.
