1.) The Windows console!


There is also a standard Windows console, under Linux and MAC there are similar tools that are provided in the operating system. The Windows 10, 8.1, 7.0 is called command prompt, the executable file is cmd.exe and is located on Windows in C:\Windows\System32\


However, these consoles usually execute the standard interpreter. On Windows, it is not just the cmd.exe that serves as the command prompt, there is still the power shell (powershell.exe).

But any application without graphical output, or made only as text, is a console application. It has nothing to do with gaming, such as the game consoles, X-BOX, Nintendo Switch (Wii-U), Playstation 1,2,3,4 ;-)

2.) Further thoughts on the Windows console!

A Windows Console, also known as Windows Command Prompt or Command Line, is a text-based user interface in Microsoft Windows operating systems. It allows interaction with the operating system by entering commands and displaying text output. The Windows Console harks back to an earlier era of computing when users had to manually input commands to perform tasks. However, it remains useful for specific administrative and development requirements.

In the Windows Console, users can input commands such as "dir" to view files in a directory, "cd" to change directories, "ipconfig" to display network information, and many other commands. The results of these commands are returned in text format.

The Windows Console supports various command-line utilities and scripting languages, including Windows PowerShell and the classic Windows Command Prompt (Cmd.exe). It is useful for tasks such as file management, operating system configuration, troubleshooting, and task automation.

However, it's important to note that compared to modern graphical user interfaces, the Windows Console may be less user-friendly and is typically used by advanced users and administrators who require full control over their systems.
