Re: MySQL from command prompt

It appears that "Windows 10 2004 update" has made changes to the command prompt (cmd.exe). Even if you are logged in with Administrative Rights the cmd.exe does not open with those priviledges. Also, if you want to open a command prompt in the "bin" folder you can no longer use the "Start In" line in the shortcut. It will not take you to that folder automatically. So here is the work around.

1. Put a copy of the cmd.exe into the folder of choice such as ".../bin"
2. Make shortcut to that cmd.exe to your place of choice such as desktop.
3. Right click the shortcut and go to properties.
4. Click the "advanced" button.
5. Put a check in the "Run as Administrator" box.
6. OK out of the boxes to save.

Now when you open the prompt it will ask if you choose to run as administrator and when yoiu say yes it will open a working command prompt in the folder of choice such as the /bin folder for MySQL.

We hope this helps someone else that was forced to do a Windows 10 2004 update.
