cd command won't switch to the D drive in cmd

Typing cd D:\Games in Command Prompt just leaves me sitting on C:. No error, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
cmd directory

cmd keeps a separate current folder per drive, and plain cd only changes the folder, not the drive. just type D: on its own and press enter. or cd /d D:\whatever to switch drive and folder in one go.
