    Cant open random GUI elements anymore all over Windows 10


    Not sure since when this happened, mostly one of the last Windows 10 updates of the last 1-2 weeks, but I cant open random GUI elements anymore. For example gpedit, or the network GUI window, when I click on them I get this message:

    Trying to open gpedit:

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
