In the meantime I will familiarize myself with theР вЂќР’Вefault administrator - and don't worry, I won't leave it enabled. The next time it starts happening again I will try the steps you suggested. Unfortunately I had to restart the computer this morning and the issue has gone away - I've done that before. Could you enlighten me, or point me to an explanation of Domain Network? But since I don't know exactly what is meant by 'Domain Network' I could be wrong.

#Open admin command prompt windows 10 Pc#

The PC is connected to my internal home network only, and as far as I know it is not a Domain Network. The netsh command is the only command I have used that requires Administrator privileges - if you have any other commands you would like me to try I would be happy to. And as I said, the netsh command usually works just fine. But I just started using the netsh command to evaluate my wireless performance. I did not make any changes to the PC prior to this issue.
