Comprehensive List of Windows Command Prompts

💡 Note: that, for most commands, you can write them in lowercase or uppercase, and the prompt will accept them regardless. However, some command parameters or arguments only accept specific cases and might have different functions if you use a lowercase or uppercase letter for a parameter.

Additionally, most of the following commands will accept “`/?`” as an argument (for example: “`ipconfig /?`”) to provide a more detailed overview of what the command does and what it will accept as arguments.
