MS-DOS Command no longer works

Hi.

In Win 8.1 I could check my Laptop battery via typing - powercfg /batteryreport - in MS-DOS. Since Win 10 this no longer works.

Any idea how to check my battery now?

Are you using Command Prompt (ADMIN) now type the following:


powercfg /batteryreport /output "C:\battery_report.html

Using Explorer navigate to C:\ aka the root directory. You should see a file labeled battery_report.html. Double-click on it to open the file in your default browser e.g. Microsoft Edge, Chome, Opera.

Hi Murf.

I didn't know there was an Admin version of the cmd prompt? How do I access it?

Attached is the result of the latest attempt...

Easiest way is to right-click on the cmd.exe icon and select "Run as administrator".
