Perform in-place upgrade to see it will resolve the problem.
CMD and SFC refuse to run anymore,

while it might fix it, I don't know if its worth the effort. I read the info page by Brink, and he says user installed apps will lose their configurations, and I run WMC 10 on this pc and do not want to setup all of that again.

Refresh your PC Fixes software problems by reinstalling the OS while preserving the user data, user accounts, and important settings. All other preinstalled customizations are restored to their factory state. In Windows 10, this feature no longer preserves user-acquired Windows apps.

In-place upgrade is to use to replace the current operating system files on your computer. Unlike a clean installation of Windows, you can start a Windows in-place upgrade when your OS is still running. And an in-place upgrade can keep your files, settings, & apps during the upgrade process.

Windows apps you installed from Microsoft Store may not be preserved and any registry tweak you done won't be preserved.
Can you also try different user account to see Command Prompt opens?

Personally, I would just go ahead right now with restoring my last system image from before the problem appeared.
Freebooter is talking about Repair install.
You are replying about Refresh your PC.
Repair Install (aka In-place upgrade) - TenForumsTutorials
Despite its name, it is a repair operation not an installation. It re-copies system files.
I have seen hardly any mention of WMC in Windows 10 so I can't even guide you to anybody who knows that topic in detail. But you could ask Brink if he knows anything by posting in the tutorial thread,
I have never had a Repair install affect any of my application configurations.
However, since you no doubt have a system image from before the problem took hold, you could recover from any problem caused by the Repair install.
Best of luck,
Denis

Also check that all the entries in the path variable are correctly separated by semicolons, as sometimes it can happen that some faulty installation process (of whatever it was that I can't remember) messes this up.
EDIT: As you may have noticed there's not one, but two path variables (one under user variables, one under system variables). You'll need to verify them both (use both of the two Edit buttons for this purpose, one by one opening each Edit window for the path variable and then choosing to edit as text which shows the semicolons).Last edited by hdmi; 13 Jun 2023 at 13:10.
