Don't miss that you can use a switch with the DIR directory command in Windows command prompt to sort files in a particular order. The switch '/O' followed by a colon followed by a particular letter for file size, file type, or something else will generate a list in a particular order. So, for example this command:
dir /O:S
. . . will sort the files in order according to their file size.
This command:
dir /O:E
. . . will sort the files by their file type.
You can use the netsh command in Windows in order to check your internet connection. This command:
netsh interface show interface
The command will show your network cable internet connection; your wifi connection; and your local area network connections.
It can take a while for Windows 10 to calculate the data size of the files in a single directory. You can use the following script in command prompt to get the total size more quickly:
powershell -noprofile -command "ls -r|measure -sum Length"
The command gives us the file count and the number of bytes, which is 409 MB. Powershell can be activated from command prompt.
