I have to use Windows where I work but I use the terminal as often as possible. Microsoft’s Windows Terminal application makes that experience tolerable. You can even think that you’re using tmux at times…well, not really, but you get the idea.

Here are some of the keyboard shortcuts that I use:

Split current terminal window

Alt Shift - split pane horizontal

Alt Shift - split pane vertical

Jump to other console

To activate the Administrator account on Windows, open the Command Prompt as Administrator from the Start Menu, or you can right-click on the “Start” menu and select the “Powershell” menu item, then enter:

net user administrator /active: yes

into the window. You should disable the account again when you’re done.

To find the uptime for a Windows machine do

C:> net statistics server
