Cmd missing in Windows 10 - Microsoft Community


hi,

   i got virus infected cmd.exe. didn't notice until morning when tried running command prompt , quit , "windows command processor has stopped". went ahead , scanned computer using malwarebytes , didnt detect anything. so, went online virus total , uploaded cmd.exe system32 folder. showed more 75% of antivirus programs detected virus. showed avira says virus, installed avira , did scan. noticed cmd.exe virus , deleted itself. thought fixed , restarted computer. logged in , ran cmd. windows said not exist anymore. freaked out , restarted computer advanced options. clicked on command prompt , ran sfc /scannow. said  "windows resource protection not perform requested operations. now, running chkdsk /r on c drive. after done, i'm going run sfc again. should if doesn't work?

thanks,

   randy

nevermind, after check disk finished, searched cmd.exe on recovery partition , copied system32 folder (c:\windows\system32).

i did " copy cmd.exe c:\windows\system32

and clicked enter , when booted windows, worked.
