Re: How do I access the command prompt in reduced functionality mo
Open the browser and type C: in the Address Bar and click Enter. Click
the Allow Button, this will open Windows Explorer.
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32. Locate the cmd.exe file and right
click, Run As Administrator.
This should get you to the command prompt.
