    Windows Command Prompt


    If I open CMD as administrator and type sfc /scannow I get the error -> "You must be an administrator running a console session in order to use the sfc utility".If I run chkdsk - it gives error -> "Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or the disk may be locked by another process. You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode and make sure the disk is unlocked."However, if I open task manager, Click on File -> Run new task-> cmd -> check box "Create this task with administrative privileges". Everything works fine.Can't understand why the normal CMD wi

    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?

    Windows Command Prompt

    Installation media boots to command prompt

    I've just booted from known working install media to see exactly what it does when booting. The sequence of events is...

    1. Windows logo on a black screen
    2. circling dots appear beneath the logo
    3. light blue 'Please wait' screen with circling dots
    4. a command prompt window (very briefly)
    5. the initial Setup page appears

    Do you see steps 1-3? If so, it appears you have stopped at step 4, suggesting that something on the disc cannot be read.

    Does the disc boot properly in another machine? If so, try cleaning the laptop's drive lens then try booting from the disc again.

    If not, make new install media with Microsoft's Media Creation Tool, either as a bootable USB, on an ISO that you can burn to another disc. At Step 8 in Option One of this tutorial you can choose between making a USB or an ISO.

  4. Why does command prompt randomly open and close and how to stop it from minimizing my window?

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    Why does command prompt randomly open and close and how to stop it from minimizing my window?: Sometime something will quickly run command prompt or windows PowerShell for a split second before closing. It steals focus and minimizes the window that I'm on if it's in Fullscreen. I have focus enabled, I've rebooted by computer, me drivers are up to date, and I've used...
