If you navigate to the equivalent address of the device on your network you will be prompted for a set of admin credentials and then taken to a lovely bunch of pages which include a wealth of configuration options. Next and by far my favourite feature in Windows 10 IoT Core is the browser based console that can be connected to using the IP address of the device followed by port 8080. However even via this method you do get a graphical interface on screen with the ability to alter things like the WiFi settings and actually shutdown the device correctly without pulling the plug. This is obviously very basic and probably not why you’ve been drawn to this blog post. Just for completeness its probably best to start with the traditional approach of using physical things like a HDMI cable plugged into the back of your monitor plus a keyboard and mouse connected via USB ports. Lets look at what we can use to control our Pi and Core OS. Apart from the lack of a pretty title Start Menu the operating system (OS) is feature rich and very easy to work with. The thing that surprised me about Microsoft’s “core” flavour of operating systems is just how much they appear on the network like a normal workstation, this might sound silly and very obvious but for the longest time when installing servers in Hyper-V I would shy away from the minimalist core install because I very wrongly assumed this meant you only got a black CMD prompt and nothing more. With Windows 10 IoT Core I can assure you that this is certainly not the case. In this post I’m specifically exploring the different ways to control your Raspberry Pi running Windows 10 IoT Core. ![]() ![]() If like me you have a several Raspberry Pi’s doing different things and running different operating systems controlling them can sometimes be a bit of a challenge, especially with a wealth of remote control protocols and command line tools to choose from.
