Flashed the factoy image 6.0 fine using the batch file.
But now need to flash twrp, i knew how to do it with a cmd prompt but windows updated to 10 and it's now [email protected]#$% F*&^%#%$ power shell so fastboot doesn't work.
Went into settings and clicked off power shell to switch back to cmd prompt, doesn't work,
So any idea how i can flash my twrp again!
[email protected]#$ windows and their power shell B*^^%$#%.

Cmd should be here

C:WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe

You don't have it?

Right click on start button, click cmd as administrative, direct to file loaction and you are set to flash.

nope

That"s ok if you know what to type for directory etc but a lot of people don;t
was easy when you could shift/mouse click to open the cmd box in the adb folder

With the latest Win10 update, that brings up PowerShell. You have to type cmd in the search box to open a command window.
Yes, but thats when only if you turn the option on from task bar or setting itself which refers as 'replace cmd with powershell'. Just turn it off and as i said you are set to go.

Ok so first of all, start cmd then for instance you are set for c drive and your files are in d drive the type "d:", then go to file manager and locate the file Location. Copy the location from address bar and paste it in cmd and cut the drive name from pasted line hit enter.
Type the regular command for flashing twrp and thats it.

So there is a lot of confusion with regards with how to use cmd commands
Herr is a guide from YouTube how to replace powershell with cmd in context menu

Apparently Poweshell is turned on by default because I never changed it. I have now changed it back. Thanks.
