This page provides a quick reference for various Windows Command Prompt (CMD) tools, PowerShell commands, and other system utilities. To get started, you'll need to open a command-line interface in Windows 11:
Using the Run Dialog: Press Win + R to open the Run dialog. Type the command (e.g., cmd, powershell, notepad) and press Enter. This is great for quickly launching single programs.
Using Command Prompt (CMD): Search for "Command Prompt" in the Start menu and open it. You can then type commands directly into the black window.
Using PowerShell: Search for "PowerShell" in the Start menu and open it. PowerShell offers more advanced scripting capabilities.
Using Windows Terminal: Search for "Windows Terminal" in the Start menu. This application allows you to manage multiple command-line interfaces (CMD, PowerShell, WSL) in one place.
Below, you'll find a categorized list of commands. Click on any command name to view detailed information, including its syntax, examples, and a description of its options. To close the popup, click the "X" in the corner, press the Esc key, or click anywhere outside the popup box.
