I do not know how you are opening your Command prompt window but I wonder if the method you are using might be associated with the problem you are having because I have never seen a window title "Select Administrator:" - it is normally just "Administrator:"
I never have to type in sfc.exe, just sfc
Irrelevant bit blacked out & don't worry about the colours as they are just additional settings I have put in.

You substitute your own chosen output folder, a folder for which you should have appropriate access, where I have written D:\Desktop or, in other words, "For those shortcuts that create output files, I send the output to D:\Desktop but you'll need to substitute your own full folder path".
You might, just for example, choose C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Desktop if such a folder exists.

The computer had a clean install and there are no files on the desktop with the exception of the recycle bin.
A right click was done creating a new folder named "sfc results".
There is now only one folder on the desktop: sfc results
What are the commands for shortcuts 2 -4 that will not display "The system could not find the path specified."
Code:DISKPART> list volume Volume ### Ltr Label Fs Type Size Status Info ---------- --- ----------- ----- ---------- ------- --------- -------- Volume 0 E DVD-ROM 0 B No Media Volume 1 C NTFS Partition 237 GB Healthy Boot Volume 2 Recovery NTFS Partition 450 MB Healthy Hidden Volume 3 F FAT32 Partition 100 MB Healthy System Volume 4 D ESD-USB FAT32 Removable 32 GB Healthy
Whatever the full path to your sfc results folder is.
I do not know what that is because I do not know where your desktop is but you can find out by looking in C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Desktop first because that is where the desktop will be if you have not relocated it.
Alternatively, right-click on your sfc results folder, select Properties then in its General tab read the entry for Location.

Using the path displayed in properties these were the administrative command prompt displayed results:
Notepad was opened and initially there were displayed results. Then the third and forth commands were run. When notepad was viewed again it only displayed:Code:Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063] (c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

The sfc results folder remained empty. There was a new file on the desktop: sfcCode:C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log:2018-06-12 22:02:00, Info CSI 000057a6 [SR] Repairing 0 components C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log:2018-06-12 22:02:00, Info CSI 000057a8 [SR] Repair complete
If you want to save the output using paths that contain spaces then these commands, along with every other command, require you to enclose the path in ".
If C:\Users\aaaaaaaa\Desktop is the path to your desktop but you want to use a subfolder called sfc results then your output files should be given in the form
