100+ Windows Run Commands List: How Many Do You Actually Know?

Although the Run command is still present in Windows 7 and later, it is no longer seen directly on the Start menu by default.

Run command which is in the Accessories sub-menu can be opened by ⊞ Win+R shortcut key. However, as Microsoft support says, you can still get it back on start menu.
Using run commands help you save a lot of time. Because with windows run commands, you just need to put up a word or two instead of hunting down something!

Let me tell you a shocking fact! There are over 100 windows run commands!

Just think over it! How many do you actually know?

But don’t worry! I have the resource ready for you!

I’m posting a list of 100+ Run Commands each Power-User is supposed to know by-heart (don’t worry if you can’t remember, but if you do, you won’t have to refer to this again and again!).
