When adding code or terminal output to your post, please make sure you enclose it in code fencing so it is formatted correctly for others to be able to read and copy, as I’ve done for you this time. You can do so with the \</\> button in the toolbar, or via typing triple backticks above and below the code in question, optionally with the language name (e.g. `cmd`) for syntax highlighting, like this:

````markdown
```cmd
<YOUR CODE HERE>
```

````
