The term is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet in powershell - Error Fixed

[Music] hello my dear friends in today's video I'm going to show you how to fix the error that says the term some command that you have tried and Then followed by that it says is not recognized as the name of the commandlet function script file or operable program for this demo I am going to use uh the ADB command but in your case probably you are trying something else but whatever it is the fix is going to work for this error so let's let's get into the troubleshooting of this issue the first and foremost thing that we need to check is the spelling of this command so ensure you are using the right right spelling so for example if I use ipconfig I get the results instead of that if I use IP it's a wrong spelling and you get this error exactly the same error that we are talking about so please ensure you use the right spelling for the command that you execute now the second thing that we need to check is the path so please ensure that you use the right path so what happens whenever you execute some command say for example ADB same command let's take the same command that I was getting error so what what happens when I execute this command so this Windows tries to find out ADB from from the path from where you executed this command so if it did not find this uh executable program inside this path so it basically checks in the uh path variable provided by you so the path variable is available inside environment variables so it will be either path over here are the path available down below over here so the program should be available whatever is the program that you try to execute should be available in any of these parts or it should be available the part that you execute the command from so if if that is not the case you have to get into the path from where this program is available so in my case I'm I'm trying to execute the command ADB so let me check if ADB is available inside the current path so this is the path from where I am trying to execute the command and the ADB program is already available so double check this if if you have problems probably you can press shift key and right click in this path directly and open the terminal from here so this way the terminal will automatically open inside this path where the program is available alternatively you can you you can also use uh the CD command to get into the path since they have spaces in the path so I was not able to use this command without the quotation so right now I have used quotation and it went fine so this way you can ensure you are at the right path from where you wanted to execute uh the command or program now the third solution some of the programs or commands are designed to execute in 32-bit r64-bit version of Powershell so when you open a Powershell when you open a Powershell you you basically have two powershells one is the Powershell Windows Powershell which is appearing at the top and the other one is Windows Powershell x86 so this is a 32-bit version of the Powershell so if one is not working try the other one and the final and last troubleshooting step that I wanted to show you so what happened some of the programs or commands are are specially designed to work on command prompt uh and they don't work on Powershell directly so in those cases you have to try once you get into the Powershell you have to use CMD to get into command prompt and uh execute the command from the command prompt so right now the command is working fine and I no more get that error so I hope this video is helpful uh please like the video and subscribe to my channel thank you
