It doesn't seem "always". According to one of your replies[1],
cmd.exe /c cd
warned that "CMD.EXE wurde mit..." and started in fallback directory
"C:\Windows". I suppose those results indicate that cmd.exe encountered
something unexpected and couldn't run normally.

The behavior seems unpredictable to me. Sorry, I'm giving up.

Thank you for warmful comments. I hope the issue would be resoved some
