    more pager in cmd

    You probably have a problem with your Command Prompt. To find out, I suggest you try this:

    • Open File Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32. Now double-click cmd.exe and check if the problem persists.
    • Check on a different machine if the problem occurs there.

    Directory doesn't display in file explorer, but I can browse to it via file explorer address bar

    Also, from dos. If I go to S: and list directory (dir) it returns file not found. but if I then cd directoryname it moves into the directory and I can list its contents.

  8. Why are file Explorer and CMD 'dir' sometimes displaying different timestamps?

    Why are file Explorer and CMD 'dir' sometimes displaying different timestamps?: This was asked previously, and not fully answered. Not all files show different times; it appears that the display may only be different for files whose timestamp is not in the DST range when 'dir' is run at a time that is in the DST range and possibly vice-versa? Can someone...
