    CMD and PowerShell

    Hi all,

    I run Windows 10, v 1803. Clicking Start, typing CMD, there is only "Command Prompt (desktop application)".

    Win key + X shows "Windows PowerShell" and "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

    If after Win key+R I choose Windows PowerShell" pops up a message:

    Same with the other option "Windows PowerShell (Admin)".

    How to make Windows PowerShell (which seems to be a replacement of Command Prompt) functional?

    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?

    Hi Andre,

    I did all items you listed.

    After reboot, running CMD and powershell (admin) had the same result ("no app associated"). So I turned the feature off in taskbar settings.

    Regards,

    Danker
