Can not run commands within command line, PowerShell or other terminals
Harm_Veenstra I've Solved it, as it was missing the following Paths in "Paths" In system variables:
%SystemRoot%\system32 %SystemRoot% %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\OpenSSH\It did not contain the paths, so they could not execute the commands, thank you for suggesting that the issue could have arisen from environment variables

Incorrect "path"
Harm_Veenstra, I can run certain commands such as "cd", "dir", and "get-childitem c:\", however, most of the useful commands, such as ipconfig are nonfunctional and return a similar error when executed, I do get around this this however by creating a .bat file that changes the dir to C:\Windows\System32 where the commands are stored.
One of the possible causes is that there is an issue with system variables, as in the past, I could not run the "jar", but the solution for me was that the PATH was not properly defined but I highly doubt that this could be the root of the issue.
Any update?

This will help others to find the correct solution easily. It also closes the item.
If one of the posts was helpful in other ways, please consider giving it a Like.- "help" is actually a function that calls Get-Help and pipes the output to more.
Use the full command Get-Help and it will not require having the more executable in your path or on your system.
Haven't got around to doing it.
