Many users avoid the system console for obvious reasons. It is intimidating, unintuitive, and arguably outdated, yet some actions can only be performed with it, and its configuration potential is enormous.
The CmdEasy application only expands those strengths, offering the ability to create custom commands, save time with shortcuts, and customize its appearance.
How CmdEasy extends the system console
No matter what Microsoft suggests, some processes only work properly through the system console. For example, Winget has greatly simplified software installation and management, while the Event Viewer can only be emptied automatically with a special console command. Still, we can’t deny that some commands are truly lengthy, and copy-paste becomes tedious in record time, unless… we use something like CmdEasy.
In essence, CmdEasy lets you bypass creating shortcuts and batch files with an alternative interface. On the right side you’ll find a section called Commands, where you can add all kinds of custom commands. The sky’s the limit: if it works in a conventional console, it will most likely work with CmdEasy.
More interesting still is the ability to create an alias. For example, to clean the Event Viewer, you can use a wildcard called “event” that invokes the command automatically. A couple of letters is more than enough, but I recommend making the alias easy to remember.
CmdEasy also includes a list of the most popular Windows commands, an internal log, command history, several options to change the console’s appearance and interface, and a Web edition that lets you use CmdEasy directly from the browser (it requires a locally installed copy, and its developer recommends not using complex commands for performance reasons).
To finish, two technical details: first, CmdEasy needs a copy of the .NET Desktop Runtime 6.0 or higher (as long as it’s 6.x, because it doesn’t detect .NET 7), and second, it’s freeware supported by advertising—while it runs, it occasionally opens a tab in your default browser to show an ad.
