  1. Command Prompt Appears then quickly closes cscript.exe


    Hey Microsoft Community,


    So, I have just updated with the new 2004 windows update and got my hard drives clean and reinstalled windows.


    Just a few days ago and realizing that there is a random command prompt pop-up and happens some time in full-screen games and also it focuses the window and it minimizes it so it's very frustrating when your in a game and this happens, It's really starting to get on my nerves so I'm here to need more help on fixing this problem that I'm having, so if you could be very helpful and try to guide me for a fix for this that would be very appreciated



    I'm unable to take a screenshot because it's happening so quick I can't react to it quick enough but I know what the command prompt says on the title bar but I'm not sure if it's cscript or script.exe because it's so quick I can't really take a look at it and then it just disappears


    OS version: 2004 OS Build 19041.450

    my windows build: vb_release 19041

    Not sure what else you want me to add let me know,



    Thanks,

    Douglas

    :)

    Installation media boots to command prompt

    I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

    1. Windows logo on a black screen
    2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
    3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
    4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
    5. the initial Setup page appears

    Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

    Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

    If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

    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 Appears then quickly closes cscript.exe

    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?
