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?

 

C:\WINDOWS\system32>ping 172.16.50.254

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?

    • Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.
