Problem with cmd.exe?

Title – cmd.exe

Description – cmd.exe is a Windows process that enables users access to the Microsoft DOS command prompt. This process, therefore, is a genuine process and is likely to be prevalent on the computers of many users. It is not a necessary component of the Operating System itself but disabling it may still cause problems on your computer.

Some older DOS based applications require cmd.exe to be running on your PC before they can be executed or opened. If you do disable the cmd.exe process then they will not be able to run without enabling this process again. For this reason it is strongly advised that users leave the process to run and start each time Windows is accessed.

Associated Errors – Removing cmd.exe is likely to cause software errors. Because some applications require this process to be running before they can be executed disabling or removing cmd.exe may prevent software on your system from running.

Recommended Solution – Cmd.exe is a component of the Operating System that is required to run some applications. This process should be left enabled on your computer in order that it can start when you run Windows. If it is causing problems or errors then you can stop the process from running.
