How To Access Command History of Command Prompt in Windows 7, 8.1, & 10


Windows Command Prompt is a tool used to give instructions to the system. It is used in troubleshooting the issue and can perform all sorts of functions.

One of the drawbacks of using Command Prompt is that some commands can stretch to many characters, making it easy for mistakes to slip in.

You can use the arrow keys to cycle through and repeat past commands, but repeatedly tapping the up key to find the one you’re after takes time.
