Installed Windows Server 2016, now I can't access my desktop
Hi everyone, today I installed Windows server 2016 from Microsoft's website to try and learn active directory. The bottom line is after it installed all my laptop is showing now is the command prompt...
It seems you have installed core version of windows server 2016 so that’s why there is no GUI only CMD popups up after boot.
you need to install GUI feature to get graphical interface this can be done by running below command in PowerShell
Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Shell, Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra –Restart

Sorry, no longer supported.
Dave Patrick is there another way if windows server 2022 is installed?
