  1. Why wont the cmd prompt start this command?


    So I am in the process of fixing my computer by repairing Windows 10 using SFC with the offline option but whenever I try to run "sfc /scannow /oofbootdir=e:\ /offwindir=C: \Windows" it doesn't work instead it gives me a list of commands that sfc can be used with as seen below what can I do to fix this? Am I typing it wrong? Does the command not work for windows 10 for some reason? I should also note that I can not log into my computer so please don't ask me to go to settings, currently all I can do is access the troubleshoot options and I cant go into safe mode because it blue screens.

    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?

  3. Windows Command Prompt

    Pallav,

    Open CMD using Run as Administrator via Start menu.

    Run the following command:

    • whoami /all /fo list >%temp%\cmd-runas.txt
    Exit the Command Prompt.

    Launch Task Manager and create a new CMD.exe task with admin privileges.

    Run the following command:



    • whoami /all /fo list >%temp%\cmd-taskmgr.txt
    Upload these two files to your OneDrive and share the link here.

    • %temp%\cmd-runas.txt
    • %temp%\cmd-taskmgr.txt

    Why wont the cmd prompt start this command?

    Right Click on Start menu - Admin Cmd, Task Mgr and others wont open.

    Hi.MegaHertz
    Had a look through the suggestions in the link you suggested, did not find any notifications in my Bitdefender AV. However I did find one oddity. On my left click Start menu>Windows System>Command Prompt was a normal dos box and going More>Run as admin did not function.

    Using the Shortcut properties as on the screenshot below and going advanced> tick run as admin the left click start menu> Windows System>Command Prompt now shows as an Admin Command Prompt.
    But going More>Run as admin still does not function. In short the’ normal’ Command Prompt is now an ‘Admin’ version.
    Many files on the right click Start menu still do not open, only those under the ‘Settings’ Program open.

    Did wonder if this could be a problem, seems a little restricted.
    But I have no idea at all, probably fine!
