Weird message when running anything from CMD prompt - W10 1607


Recommended Posts

Getting this weird error in bold when running any type of cmd prompt application, WIN32 apps work fine and launch with no error. And the cmd prompt app works fine, just shows that error prior.

Doesn't matter if it's a regular cmd prompt or elevated. Could be related to the latest version of OfficeScan

 

Anyone else able to reproduce or have any ideas?

But you are getting that error no matter what you input right?

The error is, [0x7FFE573C70E3] ANOMALY: use of REX.w is meaningless (default operand size is 64), no matter the usage in CMD. The request timing out has nothing to do with his error, you got that error because like OP mentioned the address isnt routeable via public internet. 

 

If I understand correctly, the message shows up but the task in CMD completes just fine? Have you tried running sfc /scannow to see if there are integrity problems? Might need to rebuild the image health and restore via dism

Exactly, and yes SFC/DISM shows clean. I think I have narrowed it down to TrendMicro OfficeScan. If I open a CMD prompt and type ping, I get it, if I unload OfficeScan, type ping again in the same prompt, it doesn't do it. 

I just pushed out a new update to TrendMicro Office Scan that fixes Firewall/Antivirus Status reporting in W10 Redstone, so this must be causing it.  Hopefully this will help others when they start Googling it. And I guess we will wait for TrendMicro to issue a fix/update.

Good to know, I will keep an eye on my corporate laptop as we also run trendmicro office scan.

I'm assuming you've installed something and a non-Microsoft component has extended itself into the cmd prompt environment with the REXX interpreter.  What could it be ... dunno.  Third party Anti virus maybe?  Graphics driver?

 

Did you install anything prior to receiving the error?

    • This tool is for ripping CDs not burning them. So it's to save cd audio tracks as files. Simple old tool to do it. For burning I used to use Nero Burning Tools back in the day rather than the ones you listed.

    • Microsoft Build conference to leave Seattle after years in the city by Pradeep Viswanathan Microsoft Build is a flagship annual developer conference held by Microsoft since 2011. In 2017, Microsoft relocated Build from San Francisco to its home turf in Seattle. The proximity to its main campus allowed greater participation from its own engineers and executives, offering attendees a more integrated experience. Today, Jonathan Choe revealed on X that Microsoft has decided to move its Build developer conference out of Seattle. He discovered this information via an email sent by Visit Seattle to its members. Visit Seattle is a private, non-profit destination marketing organization that promotes travel to Seattle and King County. As a result of the move, Seattle-based hotels could lose approximately 9,314 room nights annually. Surprisingly, Visit Seattle’s message included several details about Microsoft’s reasons for the change. The primary reason appears to have come from within Microsoft itself. The company feels that Build lost momentum post-COVID, and the scheduling conflict with Google I/O, a competing event, has made it harder to attract the intended audience. Microsoft’s leadership believes they can better re-energize the program and boost attendance by moving it out of Seattle. The note even suggests that Build will likely be relocated to San Francisco or Las Vegas in 2026. Another factor contributing to the decision is the condition of the city. Last month, during the conference, Microsoft leadership and attendees walked between the Hyatt Regency and the Arch building on 8th Street. Reportedly, there were complaints about the general uncleanliness of the area, the visible presence of individuals using drugs, and unhoused individuals in a recurring tent in the Arch Tunnel. Visit Seattle believes these concerns also played a role in Microsoft’s final decision to relocate Build. Given Microsoft's high-profile presence and the economic impact of the event, this relocation may spark a political storm within the Seattle mayor’s office, drawing criticism over the city’s handling of downtown conditions.
    • This is very exciting, happy to see it come back to RC.
    • What did you have to do for that? Are the steps similar to W10?
