CMD does not work in Windows 7

[austin26]

Hi,

I've recently upgraded to Windows 7 but now I have the problem, cmd does not open, but it is in the process list (always use 904 kb). What may be the reason behind, CMD not working in Windows 7 ??

I doubt that it could be a malware problem. Download Malwarebytes. Run a Malware scan, some malware can delete or disable CMD. Or you can try is Open notepad and type command.com then save the file on the desktop and name it as xyz.bat. Then Run that file and it should open the command prompt.

If Command prompt does not work in Windows 7, try upgrading Windows 7. You can do this by :

1. Insert the DVD of Windows 7 in the computer's DVD drive.
2. Click Start and select Computer.
3. If there is no "setup.exe" on the DVD-ROM drive and double click it.
4. Click Install now.
5. When prompted to enter your product key, please click Next without entering a password. The System Configuration Wizard and ask if they agree to install Windows Vista without the key. Please select to confirm.
6. Arriving at the "What type of installation you want to" screen, click Refresh to update the system files of Windows 7.

It might be possible that some program installed is causing the problem, so if used for work that would give a place to start on. Make sure "svchost.exe" is not in your home folder. Go to run -> "msconfig" -> Startup tab, and make sure "svchost.exe" is not there to start with Windows 7, whether it is then clear and restart.
