bitcoin-qt.exe is in the installation directory and bitcoind.exe is in the daemon subdirectory.

<p>For working <code>bitcoind</code> command in windows, you have to go to dir <code>C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\daemon</code> and Execute these commands. Using <strong>Bitcoin core version 16</strong> on windows 10.</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>bitcoind getinfo</strong> in Linux</p>
  
  <p><strong>bitcoind -h</strong> in windows</p>
</blockquote>

<p><em>Use this command after changing directory like shown in pic</em></p>

Or go from the commandline to the folder your bitcoin daemon is in and run a command from the bitcoin exe. NOTE: you may need to add server=1 to your bitcoin.conf in %APPDATA%
