Hi, I have recently upgraded my Toshiba Laptop to windows 10 32 bit and now i receive the following error every time the computer is restarted

Error: unrecognized or incomplete command line.

USAGE:
ipconfig [/allcompartments] [/? | /all |
/renew [adapter] | /release [adapter] |
/renew6 [adapter] | /release6 [adapter] |
/flushdns | /displaydns | /registerdns |
/showclassid adapter |
/setclassid adapter [classid] |
/showclassid6 adapter |
/setclassid6 adapter [classid] ]

where
adapter Connection name
(wildcard characters * and ? allowed, see examples)

Options:
/? Display this help message
/all Display full configuration information.
/release Release the IPv4 address for the specified adapter.
/release6 Release the IPv6 address for the specified adapter.
/renew Renew the IPv4 address for the specified adapter.
/renew6 Renew the IPv6 address for the specified adapter.
/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache.
/registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names
/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.
/showclassid Displays all the dhcp class IDs allowed for adapter.
/setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.
/showclassid6 Displays all the IPv6 DHCP class IDs allowed for adapter.
/setclassid6 Modifies the IPv6 DHCP class id.


The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and
default gateway for each adapter bound to TCP/IP.

For Release and Renew, if no adapter name is specified, then the IP address
leases for all adapters bound to TCP/IP will be released or renewed.

For Setclassid and Setclassid6, if no ClassId is specified, then the ClassId is removed.

Examples:
ipconfig ... Show information
ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information
ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapters
ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew any connection that has its
name starting with EL
ipconfig /release Con ... release all matching connections,
eg. "Local Area Connection 1" or
"Local Area Connection 2"
ipconfig /allcompartments ... Show information about all
compartments
ipconfig /allcompartments /all ... Show detailed information about all
compartments

I have released the ip adress and renewed it. I have also flushed and registered the DNS.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Cheers

Remove ipconfig command from startup (or just disable it).
Startup apps can be found in Task Manager/Startup section.
At what stage does this happen,before or after windows has loaded up?
ipconfig is a standard windows command and this is the standard output when you use it wrong but I am not aware of any program that would call it on startup it could be some driver companion software.

You could try and enter startup into the windows search bar to get the programs that run on startup and disable one at a time to see if one of them is doing this.

Hi TerryLaze
This happens after windows has loaded.
I have disabled a number of programs and I think One Drive was the culprit. It seems to have fixed the issue.
Thank You
