Command Prompt not working for user or Administrator

When selecting the command prompt from the right click on startup options I get the following message:



'This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program, or if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel'



Please assist with what has gone wrong and how to fix it. It was working but now not

Thanks

If you press Win Key + R to open a run dialog and then run:
cmd

what happens?

Get a message saying: ' Windows cannot find 'cmd'. Make sure you typed the word correctly then try again'

I would start by doing a repair install:
Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade - Windows 10 Forums

That should restore cmd.exe and take care of any other problems. Then I would do a complete disc cleanup using option 2:
Disk Cleanup - Open and Use in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

In such a situation I've had success fixing the problem using this:
FixExec Download

Thank you NavyLCDR!!!! It worked :) Much appreciated.

I had this same problem with a particular folder, except it was not a folder. I had created a "shortcut" by using "add network location". The right-click - "open command prompt here" did not work with this shortcut but does work with the original folder
