Sunddenly I can't access Device Manager in Control Panel

This is what you should see if using Powershell.

Then you press the big Enter key on your keyboard to start it.

It takes some time. Patience.

@dalchina, your picture is wrong. You need a space after the "SFC"

It is
sfc /scannow or SFC /SCANNOW
not
SFC/SCANNOW

Uppercase or Lowercase doesn't matter.

Actually, you don't. Try it with any command, it will work the same with or without a space before the first switch.

eg. dir/? is the same as dir /?

Thanks, I'm on it. Will report back.

No in PowerShell it isn't - only in the old legacy CMD prompt which was not the picture shown.

Point taken...

I did't know it worked like that in cmd until now though so I learned something
