What do you mean by "I can't type in the emacs command prompt"? Can't you open a terminal? Can't you type because you are wearing boxing gloves? Can you type something, but you get some kind of error? What did you type? If you have installed Emacs on Windows, you shouldn't normally have to type anything at a command prompt anyway. There should be an appropriate entry in the list of applications. Disclaimer: I know nothing about Windows 10. Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.
