    Why do instances of Command Prompt open and close upon system startup?


    This only happened once. When I entered my home screen, three instances of CMD Command Prompt started and instantly closed consecutively.I was messing with my audio drivers before restarting my system and my PC needed an update at the time, so I hope that might have had something to do with it. I ran a scan with the Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, which detected one of my games' exe file as a trojan. It has detected it a fully legitimate game off of Steam as a trojan both before and after a recent wipe of the system that I have done.I am using Windows 11 Home.James

    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?

    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?

    command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

    Command prompt is only accessible from the Administrative Profile, this is to prevent general users from accessing and bypassing controls.
    One method is to remove the drive and connect it to another system.
