I tried to generate SHA256 of a downloaded file by using command certutil -hashfile [file path] SHA256. its returning message:"CertUtil: -hashfile command FAILED: 0x80070002 (WIN32: 2 ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) CertUtil: The system cannot find the file specified."
The most obvious cause is that whatever you entered as "[file path]" is incorrect.
From a command prompt run a "dir [file path]" command to verify that you didn't mistype the name. If there are spaces in the name, you will need to put double quotes around [file path].
@MotoX80 Good day to You! Thank you for the valuable time and kind guidance! Even though path syntax was correct, I just missed the file extension (my case: ".7z") to include in the command. Thank you again for the great support.

Thanks for your post. Based on my experience, we have encountered similar cases that was resolved by add the private key in the same folder. Can you please also try to put the private key in the same folder renamed to mycert.key (where mycert is whatever the name of the CER file is). This was the file that could not be found. The private key in this case had been downloaded from Certificate app as a text file.
