Windows 10: CMD commands part two

Hello, I am going to leave more CMD commands to do more checks on the operating system.

Powercfg

Powercfg is a command to manage and track your computer's power usage.

This is how you manage hibernation.

command:

powercfg hibernate on y powercfg hibernate off

to view power saving states.

command:

powercfg /a

displays a list of devices on your computer that support standby mode.

command:

powercfg /devicequery s1_supported

shows which device last woke the PC from a sleep state.

command:

powercfg /lastwake

Creates an energy consumption report.

command:

powercfg /energy

provides you with a detailed analysis of battery usage.

command:

powercfg /batteryreport

Stop tasks

When you run tasklist you will see an executable file and a process, as well as memory.

command:

tasklist

If you want to stop a program you will put taskkill -im followed by the name of the executable, or taskkill -pid followed by the process ID.

Tasks

Schtasks provides access to the Task Scheduler command line. It can be combined with a few options, which gives enormous value to this command.

Thanks to this command, it could be programmed for the computer to restart at a certain time, to do a scheduled weekly restart, to turn off when you want or to close a program at a scheduled time, to give you several examples.

command:

Schtasks

Clear screen

If you have a lot of information on the command prompt screen and you want to delete it all at once, just use cls.

By entering this command and pressing Enter, everything in the CMD will be deleted.

System information

The following command provides you with information about your computer's configuration.

In this list you will see data on both the operating system and the hardware, such as the original Windows installation date, last boot time, BIOS version, total memory, available memory, installed patches, network card configurations, and more.

You will have to use systeminfo.

Encryption

Something that some users are unaware of is that when a file is deleted, what is actually done is marking it as not accessible and the space it occupies is freed up, but said file remains recoverable until the system overwrites data over it.

The command that you are going to see now allows you to permanently delete a directory or file, since it will overwrite information on top of it.

To erase drive C, for example, you would use the command cipher /w:c, which will erase the free space on the drive. This command never overwrites undeleted data.

command:

cipher /w:c

Check your drivers

As you well know, drivers are an essential part of the Windows operating system.

With the driverquery command you will be able to see a complete list of all the drivers on your PC.

If you use driverquery -v you get more information, as it includes the directory where the driver is installed.

Check your CMD drivers

command:

driverquery or driverquery -v

IPconfig

With IPconfig you will be able to know what IP address your computer is using at this moment.

You should know that if you use a router, what you will see is the local network address of the router.

It has interesting extensions such as:

ipconfig /release followed by ipconfig /renew to force the Windows PC to request a new IP address.

ipconfig /flushdns to update your DNS address.

Off

It can be quite useful to use the shutdown /r /o command, which restarts the PC and launches the Advanced Boot Options menu.

With this command we will also be able to program when we want the computer to turn off. You just have to write shutdown /s /t followed by the time we want to pass until it turns off. It is important that you know that it takes place in seconds.

Task list

You can use the tasklist command to have a current list of all the tasks running on your computer.

There are other interesting modifications such as:

Tasklist -svc: Shows the services related to each task.

tasklist -v: for more details about each task.

tasklist -m - will locate the DLL files associated with active tasks.

Format.

With the format that you are going to see now you can format a drive that is on your computer.

If you put format D: /Q /FS:exFAT /A:2048 /V:label it will format the D drive with the exFAT file system, with an allocation unit size of 2048 bytes, and change the name of the volume to “label”.

For now this is all, I will continue adding more useful commands.

All the best
