    Powershell mkdir command doesn't work on Documents system file


    Of course, I can normally create a folder on Documents, but when I try to use the mkdir command on Documents, it doesn't work. It's like it doesn't exist. Even though I can type in the path and open files on Documents on powershell. But when I use mkdir on Desktop, it doesn't work Powershell mkdir command doesn't work on Documents system file 94ea8fef-8a9d-4d84-9c20-d3cac1e5e1d1?upload=true.png

    The mkdir command works on other system files like Desktop or Downloads but never on Documents.


    It's not only the mkdir command, but when using npm on powershell it even acts the same! Basically in the picture, it trys to create the package.json file but it can't because it can't find the folder ' ee ' even though its right there in the path?

    Windows 10 command line problem: mkdir THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED

    I am trying to create a directory on my desktop from command line I typed mkdir changing-lanes. mkdir command should create a folder named changing-lanes the command but instead writes The system cannot find the file specifies.
    Creating a file in an existing folder using Atom text editor gives an error message output no such file or directory, open filepath. I have a feeling my windows is not recognizing the mkdir command it might be corrupt?

    Windows PowerShell instead of Command Window

    This issue in the Context Menu usually occurs if changes were made in the registry. May we know if you made any changes in the value of the registry of your device?

    Based from the result of the SFC tool, there are some corrupted files found in the system. We suggest that you continue with the troubleshooting steps using the
    Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. Follow the steps:

    • Press Windows key + X.
    • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).
    • Type the command, DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and hit
      Enter.

    Let us know if the steps provided above works for you.

    Powershell mkdir command doesn't work on Documents system file

    Files created from MKDIR in cmd.exe not displaying in graphical user-interface

    It is not a file that command.

    That command mkdir is to create a folder.

    So in your documents folder you should see a sub folder called test when you run that command.
