Windows CMD.exe "The system cannot find the path specified."
The problem is that some program has been set to autorun when you run cmd.exe.In my case it was ANSICON that was installed... and then I moved the file without properly uninstalling.
I found a solution in this blog post:

The short version is to find
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor\AutoRun
and clear the value.
This message can mean a path in the PATH enviromental variable doesn't exist.
The following PowerShell command will print missing paths.
($env:path).Trim(";").Split(";") | ? {-not (test-path $_)}e.g.
> ($env:path).Trim(";").Split(";") | ? {-not (test-path $_)}C:\Program Files\CMake\binC:\Program Files\SDCC\binC:\Users\wjbr\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code\binReferences
