What is the command to open Control Panel using CMD in Windows?

If you want to open Control Panel through Command Prompt, the first step is to press Windows + R, type cmd, and hit Enter. Next, in the Command Prompt window, type control and press Enter. This will directly bring up the Control Panel on your Windows system. Another alternative is to use the word control panel; both commands give the same output. This way of accessing the Control Panel is handy, especially when you don't have shortcuts or when you are troubleshooting system settings. Additionally, a lot of people who are looking to open control panel in cmd like this simple command, as it works with almost all Windows versions, including Windows 10 as well as Windows 11, without the need to go through the Start menu.
