Random Command Prompts Showing Up?
Jun 26, 2014
im getting random command prompts showing up then disappearing, and sometimes disabling my desktop and not allowing me to browse through folders saying paths dont exist, was able to sign out and back in to my account and was able to quickly open chrome to download hijackthis, and to post it to here. my problem is, i dont understand what it all means.
I have an hp laptop with windows 8, everything should be updated, and my spybot shows no problems.

I have an HP Envy and I would like Windows 8.1 to prompt me for a password both after I close (and open) my laptop lid and after waking it from sleep (Which it automatically does after 3 minutes of inactivity), however it only prompts for password after opening the lid (even if only closed for 5 seconds), and not after waking from sleep without a closed lid.
here are my settings:

Every time I move files on my portable hard drive, it says it needs administrator permission to continue. I click yes and it works, but it consumes a lot of extra time every time I move files from one folder to another. How can I stop this from asking every time?

Windows 8 FILE EXPLORER has begun prompting me that it "can't find" or items "do not exist" when I try to manipulate the files in any manner. Of course they DO exist and oddly, if I repeat the command, the job gets done.
So...the functions seem to work, but I must repeat them and deal with this pesky prompt.
I am reluctant to use System Restore as I have made some time consuming changes to my OS since this problem started and do no suspect it will be successful.
scannow did not find any errors.
I use Firefox and am 64 bit.

Problem on some or all of our 8.1 devices.
We have a user without local admin rights, whenever he changes location or between wifi/lan on the office he gets an UAC prompt, it doesn't say anymore then "Network" but i assume it is for network profiles.
Why and how to get rid of it? it is an domain account with a microsoft account attached to it, syncing skydrive and som stuff.

My son's pc will not hibernate on it's own. I used CMD in administrator mode and ran:
powercfg -requests
I found that a usb audio device was currently in use. I can disable it with:
powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE DRIVER "USB Audio Device" SYSTEM
This works, and the pc can now enter hibernation. But when it resumes, the usb driver is running again. Is there a way to run...
powercfg -REQUESTSOVERRIDE DRIVER "USB Audio Device" SYSTEM
Using admin privileges at startup? I want it to be automated.

I seem to be having a problem when command prompt needs to run anything as an admin.
This happens whenever it feels it needs to do so, like when setting a program to run as admin myself, or running an installer, like the setup for firefox (I'm in chrome right now, but I happen to prefer firefox)
Basically, whenever it needs to run anything, it'll open up to the user account controls window in this picture:
Upon clicking yes, it opens the command prompt you see in the left of the image for a split second, then closes. (it took many attempts to get a clear shot using printscreen, and I did edit it to have the UAC prompt in the same image to save space)
I'm guessing a manual regedit of some kind, as running any program is obviously blocked by the problem itself. (I cannot install any fixing programs, and anything that needs to run as admin to work is out as well).

I need to execute the command prompt as admin. When I try to do it the command prompt window doesn't open and there are no errors. If I run the command prompt without admin privs it works, but I then can't do what I need to do in the admin window.
Note: I am running Windows 8.1.

Trivia question: max value for -w in ping command? I don't mean the max wait a ping can experience. I just mean the maximum value after -w on the command line that will not give an error. If they use a 32 bit integer then it's pretty big. But if it's only 16 bit maybe we're limited to 64k?
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 -w 50000 > nul
--------------------------^^^^
For the purpose of this trivia let's limit it to Windows 8 command line .. not Linux or OS/2 or whatever.

I often format my laptop and uses virtual machine as well. So I had a batch (.bat) file to change all windows setting through registry. This batch file also changes command prompt screen size, buffer size and quick edit mode. However this does not work on Windows 8 command prompt setting.
Registry use to change the setting are:
- HKCUConsole\%SystemRoot%_System32_cmd.exe
- HKCUConsole\%SystemRoot%_SysWOW64_cmd.exe
Just wondering is there any way to change the setting in Windows 8 using batch file?

Windows 8 Pro, 64 bit. In Explorer (file manager) under File, open command prompt, and open Windows PowerShell are greyed out. This is a new situation. How can I restore them?
I didn't realize I had to have a drive or folder selected to activate the prompt.

Is there any way to add a command to the Windows 8.1 start button (right mouse click throws up a menu).
That could be quite useful for launching something like a user tool bar from the start button.

bcdedit /set increaseuserva 2500.
Tried this command because of Fallen Samurai Shogun 2 not working onmy windows 8 x64 enterprise. Says command not recognised.
So I tried. SFC /Scannow
Said the windows resource protection could not start the repair service.
So I checked services: Windows module installer. It was set to manual already. It was not running though. I pressed Run. And tried again SFC/scannow.

I am trying to elevate a command given (in this case just another cmd.exe) if the user is not admin. However i get the error:
Code:
C:Usersmetul_000>runas /user:administrator cmd.exe
Enter the password for administrator:
Attempting to start cmd.exe as user "WINDOWS8administrator" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - cmd.exe
1326: The user name or password is incorrect.
C:Usersmetul_000>
This is a personal pc, and I know i put in the password correctly as i have done it a few times slowly typing in my admin password to confirm that it is input correctly. So why am i getting this error? Initially my overall goal is to get this python script to say you are admin ...
Code:
import ctypes
import subprocess
import sys
import os
[Code] ......
if you are admin its done, but if you are not admin then it reruns itself with the so called run as command to get admin rights. However currently it just pulls up the run as usage messages. The full command this script attempts to run then is:
Code:
C:Usersmetul_000>runas /user:administrator "python3 test2.py"
Enter the password for administrator:
Attempting to start python3 test2.py as user "WINDOWS8administrator" ...
RUNAS ERROR: Unable to run - python3 test2.py
1326: The user name or password is incorrect.
C:Usersmetul_000>

How can I unlock my hard drive from my command prompt? If I can do it using it. Because I try the auto repair, refresh my pc leaving everything intact, but when I did that it told me that my driver is lock. How do I unlock it using the advance options that the Windows 8 cd brings?. It said something about boot bcd.

I had to enter Windows 8 in safe mode with command prompt to do something. After I did that, I pressed alt+F4 to exit the command prompt, so now I have a complete black screen with a cursor that I can move. I want to exit the safe mode now, to reboot again in normal mode. However, there is nothing to click on, alt+F4 doesn't work, ctrl+alt+del doesn't work, etc. There are some things that do work (for example win+P to connect a second screen, but I don't need that...). When I press the power button, it just goes to sleep. So I just want to get out of this situation. How to bring up command prompt again or shut it down completely ...

I was browsing around and attempting to build a program with MS-DOS. I can't get the choice command to work in Windows 8, and I have browsed the internet searching for the problem and a solution. It seems that Microsoft has removed Choice from Windows 8 supported commands. Is there any way possible I can make this work? I also own a Windows XP desktop and I can make the codes on it, but I can't get them to run on Windows 8?

In Windows 8, it is possible to run a command whenever the login screen of the last user is displayed in a local computer? This command should always be run with elevated rights and just before this screen appears.

So, after decades of using Windows I've just discovered the single most destructive command... The CTRL+Z... Yup, that's right.
So here's the problem. I always leave my computer on 24/7, and today I was in a application trying to undo something, but I didn't notice the application was out of focus and I was in fact "undoing" several actions I've made in the last days... Absolute disaster - I accidentally deleted Gigabytes of information and I've no way of getting them back... The worst part is, I don't even know for certain what I've deleted, as I don't exactly recall what I did in the last few days.
My question is, is there a history/log of the undo actions? I've already checked Event Viewer and there is nothing there.
