I didn't even know you could do this. Have an attempt at this, and then examine the event viewer. You might be able to get a clue to the cause there.

Not really an answer, hence a comment but I think you'd find this helpful - channel9.msdn.com/Shows/Defrag-Tools/… benefit being you can choose an elevated CMD/PS window.

So nothing happens? No error that the destination is not known or something like that?

If that way didn't help you can try cd 'your path' in cmd which you can open using windows + R and writing cmd in the input or by searching in windows menu
or you can try writing cmd.exe instead it may help

You need to check for the environment variables. If its defined under system variables section.
Go to Settings->system Properties->Advanced Tab
On the bottom right you will find the Environment variables .
If system variable is not defined for command prompt , you would need to add that
Click on New-> Give variable name as what you want to name it and variable past as path to the executable , in this case if its cmd.exe.
*Mostly the path of cmd.exe is C:WINDOWSsystem32cmd.exe

Nope, there doesn’t need to be a system variable that leads directly to cmd.exe. I don‘t have one directly and it works. But it might be that the path must be in %PATH% which seems to be the case for OP.
