Why is command prompt opening a second window to run command, and how do I fix it?

Question

I went to open sdk platform-tools to work on my android device, and command prompt opens a second window to run the code. The command actually goes through and functions, but I am asked to give permission after every hit of the Enter Key, even with administrator active. The code flies through in one millionth of a second and disappears before I can read success or failure, and the only reason I know the commands are sometimes working is because when I reset the device by command, the device resets. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

It seems the problem is NOT a MCM related problem, you may add the corresponding tag so that the experts who are familiar with that topic may help.

If you are using Windows SDK, you can post new thread here:

For Android SDK, please see:

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon

My issues was not an SDK platform-tools problem as much as it was a system error within Windows itself. I ended up performing a full format and system restore to fix the issue. It probably happened when I removed Microsoft Defender from my system, but it had to be done as Defender just gets in the way of anything 3rd party - open source, and lacks the user controls to shut off completely when needed. But I believe I disabled something else along with my removal of Defender.
