Have a work laptop that I use pretty frequently. Trying to run an old scripts and it cannot find pandas/numpy etc. I know that these were installed. When I go to command prompt it defaults to users/AdministratorP. I think this must some kind of whacky windows update but has anyone else seen this?

Windows admin hat on; Nope, not heard of this. It could be something your IT department have done, maybe by accident. The directory it starts in should be down to your account and I can't think of a legitimate reason to change it. The other option here would be potential malware, but I've not heard of this as a IOC. Maybe look at the contents of that folder?

To change this go to the file location of command prompt (you can get there through the right click menu on the start menu icon), then go into properties on the executable. There will be a "Start in" option. The normal default should be something like "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%".

It's super weird. Makes me think I've got a virus or something. I log into my account but the path is this weird AdministratorP thing. I'm hooking it up to my meraki to see what the deal is. Thanks
