For those of you that update your computer regularly and you have windows 10 then you'll have the creature update that installed windows powershell as replacement to command. Here is a little trick I found to get command back. WARNING THIS'LL only get command back while in use and not back back, like removing powershell period and going back to command.
This is just a trick I found.
1.) Right click on the windows logo.
2.) Either command (admin) or command (without admin)
3.) Powershell will pull up instead of command like it used to be.
4.) No biggy just type in "cmd" and then press enter. And that session and that session only will flip back to command. Be advised that your powershell window will flicker. This is common.
Just a little trick I found. You CANNOT control apache using powershell yet. |

This is not really related to Apache so I'm moving it to How-to's & Documentation & Tips.
While I don't have Windows 10, I have tried it and I also remember this problem. What I did was this and it was permanent, at least for the three days I played with Win 10. I'm doing this off memory from over a year ago so it might not be exact, but you'll get the idea.
Right click on your desktop and choose New -> Shortcut.
Enter cmd on the first screen of the dialog, click next.
You should see in the next page of the dialog it already figured out you want cmd.exe, Click Next or Finish.
Now you have a shortcut to cmd.exe on your desktop. You can rename it Command Prompt if you wish.
You can pin this to the start menu if I remember correctly.
You can do it again and check the run as administrator option and name it Command Prompt (Admin) if you wish and pin it.
There you go, no messing with powershell involved. |

I got a chance to play in the settings in Windows 10 today and guess what I found .... this is a setting you can turn on or off.

Not true. I do that often. run Powershell as Admin
| Code: |
PS C:\Users\Mario\Apache24\bin> .\httpd.exe -k start
PS C:\Users\Mario\Apache24\bin>
|
works fine. tested On win 8.1, Win 10, Win10 creators update, Win Server 2016 |

@James Blond: I think that's not PowerShell. Instead, it is just running the Apache binary through the PowerShell command prompt, which transparently passes it to Apache  |
