The Windows operating system contains many tools that can help the user use the computer. We have previously reviewed 15 tools in the Windows system that you may not know exist.  

Among these tools is Run, through which the user can run programs through commands he gives to the tool, so through this article we will learn about 6 tricks in these commands. How to open the Run tool To open the Run tool, simply press (Windows logo + the letter R) on the keyboard.

1- Use the Run tool to remove malicious programs. You can actually use the RUN tool to remove malicious software from your computer, but not alone, as when you type the (MRT) command in the run tool, another tool will open that performs the function of scanning system files and deleting malicious programs on the computer or specifying a specific file to be scanned. 2- Find out accurate information about your computer using the Run tool. There are some programs that allow the user to know information about the computer in detail, but you can do without them as there is a tool in Windows that contains that by opening the Run tool and typing (dxdiag) and information about the device and also about the graphics card will be displayed.
