    I have found a solution to this. Click Windows + R, then type cmd. After that dont click enter, instead click Ctrl + Shift + Enter. This should enter you as administrator and you should be able to run that command.

    This doesnt help as I cant even search anything in the first place, it fails to open and when it does its only briefly and just closes. I cant search anything on it, i've tried running troubleshooter on it, it said it found a problem, said it fixed it and continued not working. I cannot search for the command prompt and run it as administrator.

    Hi, 

    Some other have experienced this issue. 

    Try:

    1. Restart the device
    2. Check for updates

    If they doesn't work, try this:

    System File Corruption Scan

    1. Open Command Prompt (Admin)
      1. Type cmd into the start bar
      2. Right click on it and selectRun as administrator
    2. Type:
      sfc /scannow
    3. Let it run
    4. Restart your device
    5. Try again

    If that didn't work:

    Edited to remove unnecessary information.

    The poster is up to date.

    Cheers!
