The maximum length of the string that you can use at the command prompt is 8191 characters. This limitation applies to: the command line. individual environment variables that are inherited by other processes, such as the PATH variable.
Change Command Prompt WidthRight-click on the prompt boarder and select Properties… Now select the Layout tab and change the Window Size width, by default it is 80. Here you can change the Screen Buffer Size Width and Window Position. When you're finished click OK.
Every application in Windows 10 has a default font style. The default font style of Command Prompt is Consolas.
The Windows command-line only shows a history of 300 lines by default - this can be a nuisance especially if you are working with long list outputs. However, you can easily increase the number of lines that are shown.
It isn't. You can right click the title bar, select properties, and in the "Layout" tab alter the screen buffer size (line width and scrollback) and the window size (viewport size). If you started cmd from a shortcut, you can save these settings for future sessions.

If you are mouse-phobic you can also just type this inside the cmd window:
mode <cols>,<lines>
mode 80,25
mode 120,50
etc.
