    cmd.exe issues, cannot open command prompt to repair with SFC.


    Hi guys I'm new to this but figured this was the next best thing before involving a computer tech. Ever since yesterday I've been having issues with just about every game on my computer. League stopped patching for "unknown issues", got home today and Overwatch was having issues with agent.exe(blizzards command prompt to run battlenet) and when I try to open a command prompt to try and force repair, it refuses. Saying that it cannot open the application correctly. I saw that you should try running it as admin, but I can't elevate the command to make it open. I know you have to go through command prompt to enable yourself to do that also, which as you know I cannot. I ran multiple scans and my computer isn't finding any viruses, I'm just not sure what is going on here and how I can fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    :)

    When I boot computer on windows 10 it gets stuck on black screen with blue logo and I dont get the spinning white circle

    Please open a command prompt with Administrator privileges and run the following command, leaving a blank space before the slash.

    SFC /SCANNOW

    This will check Windows system files and try to repair if problems found. Sometimes it cannot repair them. Please advise the results.

    Can not open "Systemsteuerung" on Windows 10 computer

    Can you open a command prompt admin and run;

    sfc /scannow

    This would be a good start.

    If you cant find command prompt admin,

    Right click the desktop and choose New .... Shortcut.

    Type in cmd.exe push next and ok or close.

    Right click it and Run as Administrator.

    Did you try right clicking the Windows Start icon and selecting the inherent elevated command prompt option?
