    Command Prompt Not Opening


    Recently attempting to open Command prompt, ordinary or as administrator, it flashes for perhaps 2 seconds and then disappears. I tried the following commands
    sfc /scannow
    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
    But none of these seem to work, I'm wondering if there are any fixes for this issue

    :)

  2. Java not opening .jar files, opening command prompt and crashing

    Every time I try to run a .jar file, java opens a command prompt window and then closes it. Nothing happesn. I have tried reinstalling java multiple times and have tried 32 bit and 64 bit(I have 64 bit os). Please help because at the moment, this makes
    Java useless which blocks off a massive portion of my computer's use.

  3. Snipping Tool and Command Prompt not opening

    I tried to open snipping tool and command center, but they won't open. I tried googling but most people's Snipping Tool has an error message whilst mine does not. Also can't open Command Prompt so most people's option about running sfc/scannow is out.

    So far it seems like only 2 those are affected, other externally downloaded apps work just fine.

    Command Prompt Not Opening

    Open administrative powershell and type or copy and paste:
    1) sfc /scannow
    2) dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    3) dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    4) chkdsk /scan
    5) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread

    Glad that it got sorted out.
