CMD won't open on my main admin account in windows 10

[konstantin.kuzmanovic]

Whenever I try to open my CMD, It flashes briefly and closes. I have tried scanning my pc with avg,
SFC /scannow with powershell and a cmd in a second account. I have even tried the RestoreHealth thing in powershell and stil the same. The only thing that worked is creating a new account, as in it works in the other account. I am running version 1803. Please help..

Try going into c:\windows\system32\ and right click on cmd.exe. Select RunAs Administrator then when the command form opens up, at the prompt, type
net user Administrator /active:yes
then hit Enter.

Close the form and restart the machine. The System Admnistrator account will show as a login option. Choose that one and you get far more permissions than your own Admin level account has.

Downside to running built in admin is the UAC no longer stops programs from installing anything they like. You have more access but you also have less protection

If the other user works, it could be your current user is corrupt. I would login to broken user since its got admin rights still, make the new user an admin, and copy contents of C:/users/username of old user onto new one, this gives new user same access and all you need to do is set up browsers, Onedrive (if you used it before) and Steam (ditto). Don't need to install anything again. Far safer to use new user than the built in admin account.

So..make another account?

You said it works in another account, so yes, use a new account

Windows user profiles don't feel very strong in win 10, I have already had to replace my user on this PC as it stopped logging in correctly.
