My problem

I am trying to open a command prompt like this:

Step 1

press windows+run

Step 2

Write cmd

Step 3

Press enter

Result

Cmd briefly opens then closes

Causes

Recently i had a malware but i cleaned it with MalwareBytes, still this could be a follow-up of that

Other weird behaviour

  • When i go to `windows/system32` and I right click `cmd.exe` to see it's properties it doesn't allow me to do it, acts just like if I would have clicked away, on the other hand i can see the properties for other files
  • If i right click the start icon and run command prompt from there it allows me to use cmd perfectly
  • I can't open `.cmd` files

What I've tried

  1. I ran `sfc` for cmd and it closed my command prompt
  2. I checked `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor` for any autoruns but i found none
  3. I checked with the program `autoruns` if there are any autoruns on the cmd and i couldn't found any

Any help is highly appreciated!

This is probably a virus. Safe mode might fix that: Restart into safe mode and try opening CMD. Then it should run normally.
