    Cannot access cmd.exe, any suggestions?


    I have been getting a series of startup error messages for the past few days. One error I am having is that I am unable to access the command prompt. It says the "application was unable to start correctly 0x0000142".


    I've tried running as admin, doesn't work. I've tried to make sure that the cmd.exe is there and it is. Any other suggestions? I've also been getting other start up errors such as "crtransportlog".

    :)

    Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


    Hello,
    Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
    I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
    I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
    Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
    I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
    Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
