Windows 10: CMD doesn’t respond to “msg”

Hello.

I am trying to use msg command, but command prompt gives me following error:

<--------------------------------------------->

'msg' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

<--------------------------------------------->

I tried searching question on StackOverFlow, but answer was unclear. How do I fix it?

Opening a .MSG file created by Outlook 365

Because the apps I had tried and the one I had installed, appeared on the list of possible Apps in the list for opening MSG files, I thought that repairing Outlook might work. So I tried the repair option as Sheltieuk had suggested. When I then tried Start – Defaults afterwards and looked to see what was available to open MSG files, Outlook had appeared on the list! Selected that and it worked.

For once I have posed not only a question but an answer!!

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

How to message to another system on the same network

Hi,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

I understand that you are facing issue with sending message to another PC on the same network, I would suggest you follow the below steps and check if it fixes the issue.

1. In the search box on the taskbar, type
   cmd in the and then right-click or press and hold Command Prompt.
   
2. Tap or click Run as administrator.
   

Type: msg username /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext



msg sessionname /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext



msg sessionID /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext



msg @filewithnames /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext



msg * /server:servername /time:seconds /v /w /? messagetext

If the above step doesn’t solve the problem, let me point you in the right direction where you will be able to get the support for the issue that you are facing. I would suggest you to post your query in the
