a while ago i tried to do that thing where you renamed cmd.exe to utilman.exe to kinda jailbreak your pc, and long story short i cant use cmd.exe anymore (or utilman.exe for that matter) i just need to find a way to rename utilman back to cmd and vice versa

    Hi Grant,

    My name is Igor, it's a pleasure for me to help others and I'll do all my best to help you.

    Please repair system files by

    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    command from Windows Terminal (admin) environment and check if cmd works.
