My problem
I am trying to open a command prompt like this:
Step 1
press windows+run
Step 2
Write cmd
Step 3
Press enter
Result
Cmd briefly opens then closes
Causes
Recently i had a malware but i cleaned it with MalwareBytes, still this could be a follow-up of that
Other weird behaviour
- When i go to `windows/system32` and I right click `cmd.exe` to see it's properties it doesn't allow me to do it, acts just like if I would have clicked away, on the other hand i can see the properties for other files
- If i right click the start icon and run command prompt from there it allows me to use cmd perfectly
- I can't open `.cmd` files
What I've tried
- I ran `sfc` for cmd and it closed my command prompt
- I checked `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor` for any autoruns but i found none
- I checked with the program `autoruns` if there are any autoruns on the cmd and i couldn't found any
Any help is highly appreciated!
Sounds like a virus. Try booting into safe mode and see if things run normally. – duct_tape_coder – 2018-12-19T21:32:44.383
I think you can refer to this article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5373137/cmd-exe-closes-immediately-after-calling-win7-64

Also when I start it in safe mode cmd opens with no problem – Radu – 2018-12-20T10:53:17.070
