    Should add this to this Thread as well Get back “Open command window here” context menu option in Windows 10 Creators Update
    http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/cmd-here-windows-10-context-menu-add/
     The Download Zip file has the Reg Hack and it works great and you do not need to reboot for it to start working.
    I do this a lot.

     
    For the Old Folks here the old Power Toys CMDHere.inf will not work on this Version of Windows.
    The last know working OS for this little tool was Windows 7, never tested on 8.

    Old School 30+ Years -v- New School 3-5 Years.
    "power shell does all the same stuff" is also not so true, try running a Batch .bat file or even a .cmd file.
    That is you cannot run a .cmd or .bat file under PS. Most all Command.com commands and CMD.exe command do not work.
    It took me a few years alone to change my .bat files over to .cmd files and update the syntax to work.

    BAT and CMD files work from the PowerShell interface.  You have to use a path instead of typing in just the file...  So "test.bat" will not run but ".\test.bat" will make it run - similar to how linux scripts have to be executed.  I completely understand though that this is a change from the way it's been done since the DOS days - but it does work.  
     
    Not really worth the time to re-update all the syntax and stuff though - just MS making another choice for everyone!
     
    It's the blue screen that bothers me more than anything LOL!

    Hey - that blue burns the retinas!  Not only did they take CMD prompt from the power user menu they replaced "Control Panel" with "Settings" - which I hate.

    Yes but you can still use the old "Control Panel" like before.
    Have Fun Finding it now. I show Desktop Icons to get it back myself.
    It takes forever to find what you want to DO in Settings and in "Control Panel" you go right to it.
     
    It did take me three times longer to set up Creator than the last two Windows 10 Versions.
    They seem to be moving items around so we cannot find them as well.
