Paolo
Hi guys,
I have added the RUN commands table to the post.
Cheers L
Leos, thanks for adding the RUN commands to the wiki doc! You received 60 member points.
ms-settings:easeofaccess-cursorandpointersize doesn't seem to function anymore after the Windows 10 2004 update. How can we find out the new URL or does anyone have a working alternative? Thanks in advance.
I can't find any documentation about what changed on uri settings on Windows 10 2004. Let me test later on my test VM.
ms-settings:easeofaccess-MousePointer
I’m looking for a way to make a shortcut or a URI command to toggle the Taskbar Settings -> Combine taskbar buttons dropdown box, is this possible?
The commands listed here only opens specific windows. They do not configure anything. What you need is to find out what registry entry is changed by that box and script it.
Found it. Thanks
You did it on your own 🙂 No thanks needed 🙂
Any way I can get the URI command for QuickAssist please?
Cant seem to find it anywhere
Any ideas anyone?
You can use QuickAssist command. It works in Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell.
I am a beginner with rust and every time I think I have a clue I just haven't gone far enough with it, but it seems to be a good way to run Windows commands of various sorts from WSL or a command shell or probably even the Windows run dialog or the start menu. Definitely a work in progress – the code isn't even on github – but it works. I wrote some notes about it here.

Thanks for this. Any idea how to start the Join AD Wizard?
Not aware of that, Id say the closest you can get is by sysdm.cpl command. Or use netdom command line..
Thanks that’s for domain join. Azure AD join is in settings, access work or school then Connect.
I don’t see the list. Am I blind?
You can’t see the table? What browser are you using?
The content is shown only if the user is logged in. Otherwise the wiki page is blank. Not sure if it is normal.
It was a bug in my code. I fixed it now. Thanks a lot for the hint!
hi, Im thinking how I can change the audio device with just one button, can i do it with this codes?
In my case I use Volumouse, it is a simple tool to control audio volume using the mouse.
i mean when i want change of speakers to headphones, but just with a button maybe a macro idk
This tool allows you to configure rules but only on volume for all devices or specific applications. I don’t see other functions like you need.
You can use SoundVolumeView, How to set default audio device from command line on Windows operating system
thanks, yes it worked for me, add a shortcut to the desktop and put a macro with my keyboard. ty <3
I now use 3RVX, an excellent way to bind hotkeys to volume control. For example I use win+pgup and win+pgdown (to pair with f.lux brightness control alt+pgup and alt+pgdown)
The best way I know how to do that is through the Windows store there is a program called EarTrumpet. It takes the place of the volume icon in the system tray and you can right click it for easy access to switching audio devices
Volumouse is a free tool by NirSoft, here the description:
Volumouse provides you a quick and easy way to control the sound volume on your system – simply by rolling the wheel of your wheel mouse.
It allows you to define a set of rules for determining when the wheel will be used for changing the sound volume. For example: You can configure Volumouse to use your mouse wheel for volume control when the Alt key is hold down, when the left mouse button is down, when the mouse cursor is over the taskbar, and so on…
Link : Volumouse v2.10 – Control the sound volume with a wheel mouse
I’m a new employee of a computer repair shop, just getting into repairs and cybersecurity. Wondering if there is a link to download this in a spreadsheet format? Would be very helpful to always have on hand. Cheers.
You can just copy and paste the table to Excel and print it from there.
Hi, a newbie here. I was wondering if there was any way of using these on a SharePoint page? i.e. creating a button that would open up the ‘ease of access – Colour Filter’ settings?
I hope that make sense 🙂 TIA
