remove runonce.exe from server 2012 R2

When we boot up a test Windows Server 2012 R2 we get the alternative shell command - runonce.exe.  We can't seem to get into the GUI.  We can run notepad, powershell, Task Manager but not Explorer, MMC, etc.  We tried to delete/rename the runonce.exe but it says we don't have sufficient rights - we are logged in as administrator.  We have tried the attrib command but the file is marked as A and we can't seem to change that attribute.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick response.  It was all ok for years with GUI.  It's a test computer so a lot of people fool around with it.  It's possible somebody lately installed minshell.  If so how do I get rid of it.
