Question: How Do I Add a Command Prompt to Windows 10 Startup?
Contents

How do I get command prompt at startup?

To access it, press Windows Key + R, type “shell:startup” into the Run dialog, and press Enter. Yes, you’ll need to use the folder — you can’t simply add shortcuts from the Task Manager’s Startup pane. Shortcuts you add to the “shell:startup” folder will only launch when you log in with your user account.

How do I get the command prompt back in Windows 10?

In the main Settings window, click “Personalization.” On the “Personalization” page, select the “Taskbar” tab on the left side. On the right, scroll down and turn off the “Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell” option. Now, whenever you hit Windows+X, you’ll see the Command Prompt back in its rightful place.
