    powercfg Flashes for a sec and then is gone? Help!


    When ever I type powercfg -availablesleepstates into the searchbar area when you press the start button, it flashes for a millisecond and then dissappears. I'm trying to see my available sleep states for my computer but I can't seem to have on my screen long enough to read it.

    Help!

    In search type cmd do not hit enter

    right click run as administrator

    In cmd type your commands.

    Hello kevlepp, welcome to Seven Forums!


    As Rich suggested, put that same command in a command window.
