    Command prompt ren c:\windows\system32\catroot2 catroot2.old failed


    In attempting to fix update and other issues I was in the middle of commands with this command returned "access denied". The video I was learning from indicated this a problem and not the normal return.

    I get error when I try to execute the following: "Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old" without quotes and press ENTER.

    Your suggested commands will work if the system drive is visible under drive C:. This is not always the case!

    from repair environment;

    X:\windows\system32>CD /d C:\windows\system32
    C:\Windows\System32>REN catroot2 catroot.old

    C:\Windows\System32> Are you sure (Y/N)? y

    C:\Windows\System32>

    In windows should be able to delete or rename catroot2 after net stop cryptsvc

    I get error when I try to execute the following: "Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old" without quotes and press ENTER.

    Well, this required a bit of an effort, probably because some misleading advice from various respondents.

    The subject of this thread says "I get error when I try to execute the following: "Ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old". This problem is now resolved. The underlying problem of a failed automatic update isn't. I recommend you now start
    a new thread, this time with a subject such as "Failed automatic update". In this way you will attract the attention of experts on the subject.
