Windows Administrator's Quick Reference Guide

The Windows Administrator's Quick Reference Guide is a clear, concise, complete, and correct visual reference for troubleshooting in Windows 10 and Windows 11. It includes Windows Command Prompt and PowerShell commands, scripts, and shortcuts with guidance on usage with explanations that address why a particular command is used. It teaches the nuts and bolts of Windows Administration in a simple and straightforward manner. The tasks covered in this guide include:

• Updating group policy in different scenarios,
• Diagnosing and repairing a corrupted system in different scenarios,
• Resetting network settings with and without an internet connection,
• Accessing and exploring event viewer,
• Running a disk space and memory utilization report,
• Deleting unwanted files via the command line,
• Table A: 37 Windows Run Commands, and
• Table B: 19 Windows Keyboard Shortcuts.

I created this guide for myself then my supervisor asked me to publish it as a help desk reference for my teammates. I have a bachelor of science and eight active certifications in IT: Cisco CCNA, CompTIA A+, Network+, Security+, Linux+, Cloud Essentials+, Cloud+, and Project+.
