    Found a strange file after seeing up to five command prompts


    The command prompts were rather quick, but the security to whatever this thing is was not. Here is one of the files I was able to extract before I could no longer find the file location. not in perfect placement, they have copy & paste protections. regardless, I might just replace my hard drive. The worst part about it is that I had seemingly gotten this during my studies for finals, while having Youtube in the background, noting the date as 11/28/2022. I have no clue as to how much personal info this gives off other than "Nightly usage." Some notable unusual activity would be constant j

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Would I just follow the same steps within safe mode after hooking up to the other system?

    Installation media boots to command prompt

    I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

    1. Windows logo on a black screen
    2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
    3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
    4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
    5. the initial Setup page appears

    Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

    Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

    If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

    Found a strange file after seeing up to five command prompts

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    I am repairing a laptop for a friend and I need to access windows in safe mode and the owner has forgotten the password to the main user. I tried logging on with the administrator profile in safe mode but it is not showing up so I was going to use command prompt in safe mode with command prompt but command prompt will not open when I boot that option. Does anyone have any hints for me to figure this out?
