  1. I had three different CMD windows open and close on initial boot-up, today


    While searching for answers about why this would happen, I've come to the realization it might all be a total non-issue - just some errant script trying to bring any number of my drivers online or update itself, but it still worries me. Is Microsoft's built-in antivirus software strong enough to keep my system safe? Can I rely on it to put my mind at ease with a deep system scan, or would you guys recommend another app, maybe a program like ProcMon as some on reddit suggested to track down what exactly is going on?For context, this is my first encounter with the CMD prompt window opening on

    :)

  3. Windows Defender isn't initializing.

    Hi Abdul,

    Thank you for using Windows 10.

    Sorry for the delayed reply. I suggest you to Set Windows Defender to Automatic - You can set the Windows Defender service to Automatic, Disabled or Manual. Setting it to automatic might solve the problem. Follow these
    steps:

    • Click Start > type services in the Search box > click Services in the Programs list.
    • Search for Windows defender.
    • Double-click Windows Defender, and click Automatic in the start-up box > click OK.
    Also, follow the below mentioned steps and check:

    • Open the Task manager. Here’s a tip: Press CTRL+Shift+ESC.
    • Click File > Run New Task
    • Make sure you have a check mark beside “Create this task with administrative privileges”
    • Type CMD
    • Type the following 2 commands at the CMD prompt:

      dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

      sfc /scannow

    • Close the CMD window
    Keep us posted on the status of the issue and we’ll be glad to help.

  4. I had three different CMD windows open and close on initial boot-up, today

    Cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode

    I am using win 10 pro. My initial problem is I cannot display list of wifi networks. I cannot open cmd prompt in admin mode. I've used all the trouble shooting steps on this site and nothing works. Short of throwing this PC out the window is there anything
    else I can try?
