Useful Shortcuts in Managing Windows



There are a few commands that are used often by technicians to manage Windows. Things like creating and deleting user accounts. The following commands would be typed in the Search Bar which can be open by hitting the Windows key + R.

sysdm.cpl





lusrmgr.msc



certmgr.msc

This lists all the certificates used by Windows to authenticate to one online resources. In some cases, certificates are used in lieu of passwords. So if your Windows machine cannot authenticate to some network resource that it could previously, the culprit could simply be a stale, expired, or corrupted certificate. Deleting the existing certificates forces Windows to get new ones from the network resources.
Go to Trusted Root Certification, then Certificates. There, look for any expired certificates and delete them.
