Describe the bug

• No amplify command is working, even amplify version is not working. I know the version I am using because I have checked before.

• I also have another complaint of my data being unable to sync from amplify studio to my local server. I have made this complaint previously but I have not gotten a solution yet.

Expected behavior

• Amplify commands like amplify help, amplify version, amplify init are meant to work or show something in my terminal
• My data is meant to sync from local server to remote server.

Reproduction steps

running any command does not work. When I type a command nothing comes up. Please check attached.

Hey @elkee2003, thank you for reaching out. Could you try running amplify -v --debug and let us know if you observe any output.
could check the logs at C:\Users\<username>\.amplify\logs, run the amplify -v --debug and open the file that contains the latest date. Could you provide us the logs from the file this would help us in diving deeper.
Additionally, could you try reinstalling Amplify CLI using npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli or curl -sL https://aws-amplify.github.io/amplify-cli/install-win -o install.cmd && install.cmd for windows.
does the native CMD terminal with administrator permission also show similar behavior.

I have tried  amplify -v --debug, there was no output.I have looked for the logs, nothing.I have uninstalled and reinstalled amplify using npm install -g @aws-amplify/cli, still nothing. Just to reiterate, this thing just happened out the blue.

Thank you for the information, as a quick test could you try removing the C:/user/<user-name>/.amplify folder and if present remove the C:/user/<user-name>/.amplify-pending-delete.exe file.
Then install amplify CLI using curl -sL https://aws-amplify.github.io/amplify-cli/install-win -o install.cmd && install.cmd.
Do let us know if the behavior persists.

I tried what you see in the screenshot twice and I got same result. Should I resort to  npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli? It is important to note that my internet connection is ok On Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 05:43:08 PM GMT+1, Kethan sai ***@***.***> wrote: Thank you for the information, as a quick test could you try removing the C:/user/<user-name>/.amplify folder and if present remove the C:/user/<user-name>/.amplify-pending-delete.exe file.

I have installed it using `npm i -g @aws-amplify/cli`, and it worked. Thank you so much. Now about the Synchronization issue, I have been making complaints in the past about my data in amplify studio not automatically syncing with my data in the local server. The last time we spoke about this you said if the solution you gave me didn't work you were going to transfer me to your javascript team.  On Wednesday, November 15, 2023 at 05:43:08 PM GMT+1, Kethan sai ***@***.***> wrote: Thank you for the information, as a quick test could you try removing the C:/user/<user-name>/.amplify folder and if present remove the C:/user/<user-name>/.amplify-pending-delete.exe file.

Glad to hear that you were able to get the commands working, I also transferred the issue aws-amplify/amplify-js#12573 to our JS repository for additional assistance.

Closing the issue.
