(Solved) 0xc0000142 error
Boggin:
Not sure if you've Teamviewered in and found the cause of the cmd.exe problem Shane, but wondering if the File Extension Type Association could have come adrift.
This article provides a fix to default some of those which includes that for .cmd and its script http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8486-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-a.html
Shane:
I logged in and took a look at it, I found that it was crashing when accessing the ntdll.dll file. I checked and there is mismatched versions of files and things missing from the registry. Since sfc cant be ran I am unable to do that.
So later today I will try to connect back and take a look again and try a few things with the ntdll.dll file and any registry keys that have to do with it, using my good machine as a point of reference.

Boggin:
Wonder why the factory reset didn't resolve that ?
Shane:
Not sure about that either, but I used process monitor to watch it and as soon as it accesses ntdll.dll it crashes. I check his file versions and they where all different. There was 1.4 GB of windows updates to do, but of course they fail to install because of the cmd.exe not working. The factory reset didnt replace everything.

Boggin:
Does Event Viewer give any info on the cause ?
