How do I launch a cmd prompt from another cmd prompt at the same location on Windows 10?

In Mac, if I am in a running terminal window, running, say, a jupyter notebook, I can click Cmd + n to get a new terminal window at the same location. How do I do the same with command windows in Windows 10? If I have a running cmd window, how do I launch another command window with a single keyboard shortcut?

Although this isn't a keyboard shortcut, it is still very simple and fast:

If you type start and press Enter it will open a new command prompt window in the same location.

1Working in Windows PE or Recovery Mode with command-line only, and with only a single Command Line window, is a real pain. Thanks a lot, you just saved my day. – 比尔盖子 – 2019-12-28T16:07:06.047
