In this article, you will get a list of URI commands in Windows 11. The utility of the URI commands is to create shortcuts and open apps from the Run (Win+R) dialog or address bar of File Explorer or address bar of web browser.
If you try to use the commands to open apps from a command prompt or script (ex: .bat), you have to add the Start command with a space after it in front of the URI command. For example, use the Start ms-actioncenter: command to open the Notification Center from the command prompt.
