How to Disable Command Prompt in Windows 10/8/7 [Tutorial]

A command prompt is an entry point for typing computer commands in the Command Prompt window. By typing commands at the command prompt, you can perform tasks on your computer without using the Windows graphical interface.

Want to restrict users from opening Command Prompt or running command-line scripts? Follow these steps to disable Command Prompt in Windows.

In Windows, any user can open the Command Prompt and run commands or other scripts without much resistance. This is useful because you can run simple commands and get information that is otherwise unavailable or hard to get in the regular mode. Of course, if you want to run commands or scripts that require admin privileges then the command will prompt for those permissions.

That being said, Command Prompt is not for everyone and most seldom use it. So, if you are sure you don't need the Command Prompt or if you want to restrict other users from accessing the Command Prompt, Windows has a hidden way to disable Command Prompt.

I am so sorry that this method does not work me either. My CMD button is working just like before, although I have done all steps and confirmed that I have exactly the same files, values names... I wish I could find a solution.
