Windows Command Prompt

What is Windows Command Prompt?

The Windows Command Prompt serves as a powerful text-based interface for performing a wide array of system-level tasks and administrative functions on Windows operating systems. Accessible since the release of Windows NT 4.0, this command-line interpreter allows users to directly interact with the underlying operating system, execute scripts, manage files and directories, configure network settings, and troubleshoot various system components. Comparable to the command shells found in Unix-like environments, the Command Prompt provides a familiar, keyboard-driven experience for experienced users while offering comprehensive control over the Windows ecosystem
