Windows 10: 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?

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile

 

GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

Current /? (-?) or / help (-help) parameter is invalid

Hi Rhonda,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

This error may happen due to system file corruption or Visual C++ redistributable package corruption. I suggest you to follow the below given methods:

I suggest you to run System file checker. System File checker (SFC) scan is done to check if there are any corrupted system files that could be causing this issue. Kindly follow the below given steps:

• Press Windows key + X, select
  Command prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated Command prompt.
• In Command prompt type sfc/scannow and press enter.
• Restart the computer.

If no corrupted system files were found in the previous state, then I suggest you to try the following steps:

• Open command prompt by pressing Windows key + X and selecting “Command prompt admin”.
• In command prompt, type the following commands and press Enter after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

• Close the command prompt and restart the PC and check if it works.

Hope this information helps.
