    Command Prompt not working for user or Administrator


    When selecting the command prompt from the right click on startup options I get the following message:



    'This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program, or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel'



    Please assist with what has gone wrong and how to fix it. It was working but now not *Redface

    Thanks

    :)

    You are going to need to run a repair install from the win 10 ISO

    Administrator User and use of Elevated Command Prompt

    This is how I sorted out my issue in the end (Windows 10)

    After trying many different ideas, I simply went to All Settings>Reset this PC. After a long while it told me that [the job, name forgotten!] had failed. I rebooted and all was back to 'normal', albeit of some days previously. It had done what I initially
    wanted - a System Restore - but it wasn't possible to run the System Restore from its usual place (from Control Panel or Windows Explorer). It seems that All Settings>Reset this PC must be more 'powerful', but maybe not. Anyhow, it cured my issue
    and that was weeks ago.

    All Settings>Reset this PC can be accessed from the rectangular icon in the corner by the date.

    Command Prompt not working for user or Administrator

    If you press Win Key + R to open a run dialog and then run:
    cmd

    what happens?

    Get a message saying: ' Windows cannot find 'cmd'. Make sure you typed the word correctly then try again'

  6. Some malware infections will delete or rename that file so you can't use it to undo the infection.

  11. I had this same problem with a particular folder, except it was not a folder. I had created a "shortcut" by using "add network location". The right-click - "open command prompt here" did not work with this shortcut but does work with the original folder
