How to check windows CMD terminal all sensors status?
To check the status of various sensors through the Windows Command Prompt (CMD), you typically need specialized software or a tool that can access and display hardware information. Windows does not provide direct command-line utilities to access all sensor data (like temperature sensors, fan speeds, etc.) out of the box.
However, there are a few approaches you can take to retrieve sensor information:
### Using Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)
1. **Open CMD**:
- Press `Win + R`, type `cmd`, and press Enter.
2. **Query Sensor Information**:
You can use the `wmic` command to get some information about the system, such as temperature and battery status for laptops. However, detailed sensor data typically won't be available without third-party tools.
For battery information on laptops:
```bash
wmic battery get status
```
3. **CPU and Memory Information**:
You can get general system info using:
```bash
wmic cpu get name, CurrentClockSpeed, MaxClockSpeed
wmic memorychip get capacity, serialnumber, devicelocator
```
### Using Third-Party Tools
For detailed sensor information like temperatures, fan speeds, voltages, etc., consider using third-party programs:
1. **HWMonitor**:
- Download and run HWMonitor from CPUID. It provides detailed information about temperatures, voltages, and fan speeds.
2. **Open Hardware Monitor**:
- Another option is Open Hardware Monitor, which is open-source and can display sensor data.
3. **Core Temp**:
- Core Temp is a lightweight program specifically for CPU temperature monitoring.
### Using PowerShell
If you're looking for more detailed information than what Command Prompt can provide, consider using PowerShell with appropriate modules or scripts.
1. **Open PowerShell**:
- Press `Win + X` and select “Windows PowerShell” or “Windows Terminal”.
2. **Run Commands**:
While PowerShell doesn't directly access all sensor data either, it can use WMI for some information, much like CMD.
### Note
- Your ability to retrieve specific sensor information varies based on your hardware, any installed drivers, and the BIOS/UEFI settings.
- Always ensure you download third-party tools from reputable sources to avoid malware.
### Summary
While you can retrieve some basic information using CMD or PowerShell, for comprehensive sensor status information, third-party applications are usually required.
