Hello,

Thank you for getting back to us with the information.

I request you to place the computer in Clean boot and check if it helps.



A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows.
You may also troubleshoot or determine what conflict is causing the problem by performing a clean boot.



Follow the link to place your computer in Clean boot:

Disclaimer: To start the computer in normal mode refer the section,
"How to reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting"
from the link above.

I hope this helps you. If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.



Thank you.

Hello Henry, *Smile

Do you mean for the Win+X menu instead?

Ok Brink got it. Phew, I was looking all over the dang settings and I guess I missed it. Next step is to pin it to start menu.

Henry.

 

Command Prompt is already in the Start menu, it's in 'All apps' under 'Windows System'. You could pin this to start. A right-click then lets you choose run as administrator in 'More >'.

 

Okay thanks.

Henry.

 

Glad we could help. *Smile
