"The environment is incorrect." error when trying to run an executable
I have a desktop computer that was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro. When I try to run CMD as Administrator, I receive "The environment is incorrect." error message. I get the same error if I try to run other Windows applications (in Windows\System32).
Update: It looks like I have bigger problems. I am in the Administrators group but cannot run any application requiring elevated privileges. When I try to run the CMD (Admin) using Power Users menu, I receive "This file does not have a program associate with it ..." (image attached). I can't run SFC or DISM to repair my installation either because it tells me I need to be an Administrator. Should my query be moved to Installation sub-forum?
Thanks.
