How To Use Command Prompt/CMD ?
This is my first tutorial on Command Prompt and i make this because some of my friends are just crazy about their computer not working and they search the answer on google so hard they don't know the answer is just a simple typing on the CMD
So what is CMD? CMD or Command Prompt is most commonly used to execute batch files, perform advanced administrative functions, and troubleshoot and solve certain kinds of Windows issues. Some people think it's a very complicated thing but it's actually very easy to learn
So here's my How To Use CMD for all of you newcomer for pc (this is just a basic tutorial so don't go thinking after this you can hack the goverment system and stole their information) anyway let's get started
A. How To Open CMD
Of course first of all you need to know how to acces the CMD itself you can access CMD through different ways
1. Start Menu
open up start menu (click start for windows 7 and open the start menu for window 8) and search CMD. you will see the Command Prompt, Right click it and Run As Administrator and a black window will appear. This is the Commmand Prompt or CMD for short
2.From Run
Click WINDOWS KEY+R then a run window popped up and type cmd and click Enter. The CMD prompt is open.
3. Folder
Now to do this you need to open up any folder and go to your main drive (usually C:) then find windows folder and search for SysWOW64 (System32 for windows 7) open it and find CMD.exe right click and run as administrator
B. Basic Command
once you open the CMD window there will be something like this:
Microsoft Wndows [Version 6.2.9200]
<c> 2012 Microsoft Corporation. ALL rights reserved
C:\Windows\System32>
Make sure it's System32 (if it doesn't then you probably forgot to run CMD as administrator).
Okay so here are some important command and what it does
COMMAND FUNCTION
help list most available command (and available command for selected command)
shutdown Shutdown your computer
ipconfig Command related to Network and Connectivity
cls Clear all command on CMD
/? List all available command for the selected command (ex: ipconfig/?)
C. Things to do
Okay first you want to type anything related to CMD command such as ipconfig (you can find more command on google) and type /? this will list all available command for this command and afterwards you can expand the function of the command. For example:
ipconfig/all
This will list all available network that is connected or has been connected to the pc. and the next thing to do is making this command to good use. For example if you want to reset your whole wi-fi connection just type in
ipconfig/all
And then after all network have been listed type in
ipconfig/release
This will release all available network and then type in
ipconfig/renew
This will refresh all available network
And... DONE!!! all network have been refreshed. But what does this actually do? well this usually fix the Limited wifi connection problem that usually occured on windows 8, usually it said no network connection while you have a fully working internet connection, this will fix it.
And here is some more troubleshooting sometimes windows update happened without us knowing it and we just shut down our computer not knowing the update is running, and this will take some space or broke your windows update to fix this (or stop this) type in
net stop wuauserv
this will stop windows update service completely (usually when you cancel it it just keep cancelling and never seems to stop so this will do it). And after that you want to go to your C: folder and go to windows and then find and open SoftwareDistribution and go to Download
it goes like this
C: > Windows > SoftwareDistribution > Download
and after that delete all files inside and then open CMD again and type in
net start wuauserv
this will start windows update service again
So that's it guys that's my tutorial on how to use CMD i hope you find this useful cause my friends certainly did. And just remember to run as administrator and don't mess with the command too much (you don't want to ruin your computer). And yeah just one thing if you accidentally deleted something for clicking the wrong button or anything that don't go down on me ok :)
see you guys.
