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

- Paint:
mspaint
- Calculator:
calc
- About Windows:
winver
- File Explorer:

taskmgr

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.
