    Meaning of 'dash' suffix that appears after some CMD commands.


    What is the meaning of the "dash" suffix that appears after some directory locations and CMD Prompt commands?

    Example: C:\Windows\ImmersiveControlPanel\SystemSettings.exe -ServerName:microsoft.windows.immersivecontrolpanel .

    I'm primarily interested in rendering minimal the amount of network traffic my PC produces, in order to, at once, ensure minimal resource usage, privacy and control over my computer.

    Can anyone advise as to how to move towards the above objective and provide an answer to the original question?

    Don't hesitate to PM me. This level of work probably shouldn't be made public.

    :)

    PC cannot run app on this version of word?

    Do you mean from notepad to CMD or typed on CMD itself?

    I can type in CMD and yh that is fine but don't know how to save or open CMD after adding commands to notepad.

    Hi

    Open command prompt with elevated privileges by typing cmd at cortona or start menu and right click on command prompt shown in list and click "run as administrator". In the command prompt type following command

    slmgr -ipk YOURPRODUCTKEY(including dash)

    and when it says product key successfully installed

    after that type

    slmgr -ato

    I hope if everything goes fine it will activate your windows.

    you need to be online during this process.

    Hope it helps.

    Good Luck.

    Meaning of 'dash' suffix that appears after some CMD commands.

    The 'dash' - is the unix-style equivalent of the 'slash' / and indicates an option will follow it. They are generally interchangeable in a command prompt, while poweshell requires the dash to be used. The following commands in a command prompt are identical:

    help cmd -?
    help cmd /?
