    CMD


    Ya, so I lost my command prompt, and no it's not in my start menu anymore:

    Start
    Cmd
    (Nothing)

    And it's not there if I use run:

    Windows key + R
    Cmd
    (Nothing (Can't find anything)

    So please someone tell me how to fix this, it's like cmd is removed from my computer!

    Hello Renshul, and welcome to Seven Forums.


    Double check to see if you still have the system file below.


    C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe


    If so, then you can use the tutorial below to restore any missing default Start Menu shortcuts.
    If not, then see if running a sfc /scannow command is able to restore the cmd.exe file.
    Hope this helps for now, :)

    I would also run Malwarebytes and your Antivirus just to be safe.

    My cmd.exe is not in my System32 file anymore. So what do I have to do, there is no way I can run cmd.

    It could also be C:\Windows\System32\cmd if you have known file extensions set to not show.

    If able, you could run the SFC scan at boot.

    If not, then you could see if doing a system restore using a restore point dated before your believed the file went awol.

    I would also recommend to do a full scan of your system with an AV program to help make sure it's clean.

    I don't think any of this is working, or I don't know how to do it, I'm Dutch so I don't understand alot on the page you sent me. Should I just recover my pc then?

    A system restore would be easier if you have a restore point dated before the file went missing.
