to change the account password. - Query and set device name:
To identify your current device name, simply typehostname
. To change the name of your Windows IoT Core device, typeSetComputerName [new machinename]
. You may need to restart your device for the name change to take effect. - Basic network configuration:
Many of the basic network configuration utilities you may already be familiar with are available in Windows IoT Core, including commands such asping.exe
,netstat.exe
,netsh.exe
,ipconfig.exe
,nslookup.exe
,tracert.exe
, andarp.exe
. - Copy utilities:
Microsoft is providing familiar tools, includingsfpcopy.exe

To view currently running processes, you can try eitherget-process
or alternativelytlist.exe
. To stop a running process, typekill.exe [pid or process name]
. - Setting startup app:
Use the startup editor to configure startup apps on your Windows IoT Core device. RunIotStartup
with any of the following options:
IotStartup list
lists installed applications
IotStartup list headed
lists installed headed applications
IotStartup list headless
lists installed headless applications
IotStartup list [MyApp]
list installed applications that match patternMyApp
IotStartup add
