Once you press the enter key, a new command prompt window will be open. In the command prompt, run the cd command to check the current working directory.
Using the same method, we can also open a PowerShell window in a folder. Type PowerShell in the address bar and press Enter.
This method works on any Windows OS computer, including Windows 10, 11, and Windows Server.
