What is the tool run in Windows 10 for?

This tool is implemented from the first versions of Windows desktop. Its main utility is to execute other commands that execute different system functionalities.

To execute a command on this window we only have to write it in its text input box. If the command must be run as administrator, the user account control will request access for its execution.

Open the tool run in Windows 10 from the start

Method 1

Well, the first way we have to run this tool is through the start menu.

• What we have to do is go to start and open it. Now, although apparently we don't see any place to enter text, we will write "Execute"

• Now, if the previous option appears in the upper section, we will only have to press "Enter" to open it. We can also do it by clicking with the mouse.

Method 2

We can also access this tool by right-clicking on the start menu. This will open a list of useful options to quickly access certain configurations.

We can also access this menu by simultaneously pressing "Windows + X"

In any case, once we access this menu, we will be able to locate the "Run" option at the bottom

Method 3

If what we want is to locate the icon directly in the start menu, what we must do first is open it.

Now we look with the list of tools and applications for the folder called "Windows System". If we display its internal list, we will find the execute tool.
