command prompt appears then disappears

Yesterday, I opened the command prompt and it was fine.
Today, I opened the command prompt and it opens *very briefly* and then
closes. I've tried to open it many ways - from the start menu, from the
run command, from the actual program file... but it all does the same
thing. Opens for about 1 second and then closes again.

Back to the first question... 4 years later but don't mind, I found this post when i got the same problem and didn't find any solution....till now

My computer was infected by the virus "craddle of filth", and so the command prompt window just appear and disappear!

The solution to this is just remove this key : HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun, from the registry, wich was added by the virus.

For more information about what the virus does, visit this web page "http://net-studio.org/fra/patch/patch/8-patch-pour-supprimer-le-virus-cradle-of-filth-vbe.html" (sorry it's in french)

None of these worked for me with this problem. I updated and scanned for viruses and it found nothing. I searched the registry for HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun and it didnt find it. I ran cmd /k netstat and that stayed open fine but didn't do anything to fix the command screen to stay open. Any other suggestions?

Was just updating a game (SimCitiy Socities) with some updates being around 17mg to 174 when command opens, i see that most of the text is related to the game. should i be worried? ( the files were either .exe or winrar files)

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun


THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
