Windows 10: Adobe Lightroom and Bridge both open command prompts

So I'm seeing both the mentioned programs open and close command prompt windows in a flash before closing them without anything actually happening. This seems, presently, to only happen when asking either program to show a file in Windows Explorer. Happening on a new Pc with fresh Adobe install. Worked fine previously on an older Intel Pc new one running with AMD.Any thoughts?

Adobe Bridge: cannot set as default in Settings Menu


Adobe Bridge is actually a Photo Organizer, it is not designed for single image viewer so if you want to set it as default to open every time you double click a .jpg/.png. Bridge will open the whole folder containing the .jpg/.png that you selected. If this is what you want then try the followings:

1. Right click on the .jpg ->Open With->Choose another App
2. If Bridge is on the list. Hi-lite it and put a check mark on: "Always use this app to open .jpg file". If not go to step 3
3. If Bridge is not on the list scroll to the bottom then select then click on "More Apps"
4. If Bridge is still not on the list then scroll to bottom again and select "Look for another App on this PC"
5. Navigate to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Bridge and select "Bridge.exe" ====>64bit
   Or: C:\Program Files (X86)\Adbode\Adobe Bridge and select "Bridge.exe" ====> 32bit
   then put a check mark on "Always use this app to open .jpg file"
6. Do the same for .png file.

 

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

 

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

I am repairing a laptop for a friend and I need to access windows in safe mode and the owner has forgotten the password to the main user. I tried logging on with the administrator profile in safe mode but it is not showing up so I was going to use command prompt in safe mode with command prompt but command prompt will not open when I boot that option. Does anyone have any hints for me to figure this out?
