This guide has got a set of Important Windows Commands which are useful to fix your computer issues. These commands are for various fixes, we have aggregated important commands at one place so that it is easy to get and copy this information. These commands work for Windows 11, Windows 10, Windows 8 and Windows 7 Operating System. These will work for desktop as well as laptop computers. Lets look at some important windows commands.

Ping Command
Ping! If you listen intently, you may hear the ping command in action. A ping network test sends data packets to a specified IP address, confirming or denying connection between IP-networked devices.

In the event of confirmation, a ping test will reveal the "latency" (i.e., the duration of the response time). A decreased latency delivers a better experience, since even milliseconds might count in circumstances when a quick reaction is required, such as online gaming.

Command 1

ping www.google.com 

ipConfig Command
Your IP address may be found in the Control Panel, but it takes a few clicks to get there. The ipconfig command returns your computer's IP address and other information quickly, such as the ip of its access point if you want to find the Ip address of your router's web interface.

To use the command, open the Command Prompt and type ipconfig. You'll get a list of all the network connections that are active on your computer. If you're using Wi-Fi, look for "Wireless LAN adapter" or "Ethernet adapter" if you're using a wired network. You may get more additional information by using the ipconfig /all command.
