Only cmd.exe shows up on Windows 10 Startup


Recommended Posts

Hello to all, 

I encountered a problem couple of weeks ago since I realized I couldn't open cmd.exe ( once I open it, it automatically closes). I ran a MalwareBytes scan and found a malware marked as Hijack.AutoRun,  in registry value of a Command Processor

Specificly:

Hijack.AutoRun, HKU\S-1-5-21-2923880554-3555040517-45539607-1001\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\COMMAND PROCESSOR|AUTORUN, No Action By User, [14778], [245417],1.0.3222

So, naturally, I removed the malware and after I restarted my PC, the only thing that showed up is plain cmd.exe window without any background and icons in Windows. Only way to get it back is manually start explorer.exe.
I'm not sure what to do next. I just don't have the time at the moment to reinstall Windows 10, but I want this problem resolved as quick as possible because it's just bothering me.  If you guys have a solution for this problem, that would be perfect. I read about this online and haven't found anything similar so I had to create a new topic

PS. I copied most of things from another topic here which is closed, but completely same problem as mine. I attached right away logs. But next steps i cant follow because I cant download attached files anymore.

Thanks very much!

looks like i Fixed it somehow, yet i dont know if its proper fix, everywhere people were writing about changing in regedit HKEYLOCALMACHINE, but there I had right value in "explorer.exe" So i thought ill try in HKEYCURRENTUSER same way HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon, changed there value to explorer.exe and finally got it work!
