Launching 64-bit cmd.exe
« on: January 09, 2024, 11:11 PM »
New user, setting up on Win/10 for the first time. I notice that if I launch c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe, I get the 32-bit command processor.  I find two workarounds:
  1. Use "sysnative" instead of "system32"
  2. Add Arguments "/c start "64-bit cmd" %windir%\sysnative\cmd.exe"
Only the 2nd works if run as administrator is checked.
