I want to start using the command prompt feature (Windows 10) but the prompt starts out as C:\Users\owner
. The cd
command doesn't move up a level. I want to get to C:\Program Files
, but I can't get to the C:\
prompt, or even C:\Users
prompt. I don't get an error message, it just outputs C:\Users\owner
.
Running Command Prompt as an administrator doesn't help. That just give me a C:\WINDOWS\system32
, where cd
doesn't turn the prompt into C:\WINDOWS
.
Anyone know how to fix this?

I am sure if you know the right path you will be able to traverse to that path with the
cd
command. Anyway you can still do one of the following:Go to the folder (using file explorer) you want to work around in through CMD, copy the address from the address bar and paste it in a command prompt after
cd
. For example:cd C:\path\to\folder
.You can also go to the desired folder (again using file explorer), right click ---> Open command prompt here.
