Windows 10: I am unable to customize Command Prompt.

Hello, I have a problem when customizing Command Prompt for some reason.

I chose my colors and everything, but when I wanted to apply it, an error message popped up saying:

"Unable to modify the shortcut:

C:\users\[me]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\Command Prompt.ink

Check to make sure it has not been deleted or renamed."

I went into the directory and saw the "Start Menu" folder didn't even show up. I continued to make the specific folders, but didn't know what to do with "Command Prompt.ink". I had no idea how to program it, so I searched for the file on the internet and found nothing.

Can you help me out? Thanks!

:)

 

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.

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?
