PowerShell is now the default in Windows 10. You can change it back permanently in Settings->Personalization->Taskbar and turn off "Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell...".
You can also access cmd temporarily by typing 'cmd' in a Windows Explorer title bar.
Thanks for the reply I was thinking power shell is why I can't install twrp on my pixel XL

How do you open a command window in windows XP. I've tried the shift right click on the tools folders without any success, any suggestions?
thanks,
Start, run, then type cmd
trying to get my command prompt up in my SDK tools folder so i can root my nexuz when i get it. but when i hold the shift key and right click i dont get the option for open command promp here? could it be blocked since im on my work computer? i also tried going
start>run cmd.
it starts off in H...
then i type
cd C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
and it just goes right back to H? am i doing something wrong?
Are you on Windows 7?
If you are, go to your tools folder and right click anywhere inside the folder while holding the shift key. Select "Open command window here" from the menu.
If you're on XP, try these commands after running "cmd":
C:
cd android-sdk-windows
cd platform-tools

Hi, i want to unlock my bootloader, and i know that i must use fastboot app on my computer.
But everytime i click on fastboot.exe it's turn off after 1 second?

It's a command line program, so you have to open a command prompt to the directory fastboot is in
An easy way to get command prompt to the correct directory is to hold shift and right click on an empty space in the folder (make sure no files are selected), then an "open command window here" option can be selected
no offence but if you fail at loading a CLI program then maybe you should re consider unlocking your device. but if you know what your doing and this was a genuine silly mistake then feel free to unlock it.

The shift - click method only works in Windows 7, I think.
But you can also open up a CMD window and use the CD command (Change directory). Type in cd and then drag and drop the folder containing the fastboot files in the CMD window and then press Enter.

im trying to unlock my gsm nexus bootloader in command run it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file. what do i do?
I'm assuming you have Android SDK downloaded to your C:\ drive or or some place like that. if so then navigate to SDK folder and hold shift then right click platform-tools folder and then click open command window here. .

You need to get adb working on your PC. You don't have it installed or you are using it wrong (not in the directory it is in, or it isn't set to PATH as examples).
Side note adb doesn't work in the bootloader.
use gnex toolkit in galaxy nexus android development
Open the CMD and navigate to the folder where ADB.EXE is located and like someone mentioned about adb wont work in bootloader, so instead you'll have to use "fastboot", type "fastboot /?" for help and commands.
also make sure you execute CMD as Administrator.
on the toolkit, adb file's name is different. try "adb-toolkit" instead of "adb"
so: "adb-toolkit reboot bootloader"

Google adb anywhere and you'll find a 15 second installer, i use that with 10 Pro and powershell and it works a treat.
If you still have problems you should look in the device manager and see if Windows is using the adb driver at all

No probs, you can change powershell back to command prompt on shift+right click with a regedit if you want to, i haven't done this but i will now I've mentioned it
