Check the PATH environment variable to ensure it includes the directory containing "net," verify the command’s availability, run Command Prompt as an administrator, scan for malware or system corruption, or use alternative commands like PowerShell.

If you see the error message "Local group does not exist," ensure the group name is spelled correctly and check its existence with the `net localgroup` command.
