101 Windows 11/10 Run Command Shortcuts to unleash hidden tweaks

by

Windows run command are shortest ways to reach at any particular setting panel or open any useful applications. Although Microsoft has made taskbar search very much efficient in doing that, but you can not find each and everything via taskbar search. Also searching something in search box of taskbar and then clicking on the search result is one step longer as compared to opening it via run. Also, opening something via run box seems geeky and cool. For example very few people know that you can reach control panel directly by typing control in run box or you can directly open on screen keyboard by typing osk in run box. I have listed here all the important run commands in windows 11 as well as windows 10.
