help with windir and system32 in quality enviroment
about a month ago i reinstalled windows 11 ( home) and so far not got older updates
as i try to reset the windows updater i discover in one step ( after the rename of softwaredistribution and catroot steps) has
windir and system 32 shown below
cd /d %windir%\system32
than has abunch of regsvr32 dll to register
anyway a error shows in red ( command prompt) saying cant be located or found in summary)
so find how to fix it and no problems until after its fixed!
when i apply this fix ( all profiles tab in box and add) the command prompt ( cmd) is gone cant open nor is windows key and x to bring up that list ( task manager commpand prompt, device manager etc...) and defrag is not able to run either
to open the cmd ( command prompt ) i have to use windows key and r for box and than gives message im not administrator or words to that affect
find fix for that but rather strange anyway ( not the other missing things)
how do i go and fix this issue ?
note i had to delete the fix above to get normal working functions again
i cant find anything that mentions this or a fix
i dont understand how a "fix " can affect or disable things
this is link to show the step i mentioned i.e step 5

The commands or DLL registrations may have affected system files or registry entries crucial for system functions.
Using regsvr32 on DLLs without proper context can cause instability.
Renaming or deleting system folders or files can break default system behaviors.
System environment variables or permissions might have been altered.
the steps i have done and others also over many years are well know
