Windows 10: Can't run services, gpedit (and possibly other) run app commands

Typing at least two items in the "run" window desktop app (win/r) brings issues.

- when I type 'services' = nothing (not even a window or an error message).
- when I type 'gpedit.msc' = error message popup/dialogue that it can't find the program

Yet I can open these services and gpedit commands directly (by typing the dot msc in the win/serarch bar or via clicking menu in control panel (thus without using the run app). In the mean time run continues to work normally with some other commands (like 'explorer').

And also when I do end up opening the gpedit.msc app I still get a prioblem: a blank window with only the menus appears accompanied only by a red colored "x" dotted message "mmc could not create the snap-in".

Text Services Framework not running and no connection to Internet

Hi Alrescha,

It is possible that the
system files
and
components were corrupted during the installation or update. We suggest
that you perform these methods of troubleshooting
and check if there are any
changes:

For network connection issue:

Method 1: Reset TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  this command:
  
  • 
    netsh int ip reset
    and hit
    Enter.
    

Exit
Command Prompt
and
monitor your Network Connection.

Method 2: Disable auto turn-off of Network device.

Go to
Network and Sharing Center. At the
right pane, click
Change adapter settings.
Right-click
on your
connection/network name
and go to
Properties.Click
the
"Configure..."
button and go to
Power Management
tab.Uncheck/disable
the
radio button
for
"Allow this device to turn off this device to save power". And then,
Restart the PC(Important).

Method 3: Reconfigure TCP/IP

To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt
  as
  Administrator.
  
• 
  Run
  these following commands:
  
  • 
    netsh int tcp set heuristics
    disabled
    
  • 
    netsh int tcp
    set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    
  • 
    netsh int tcp set global
    rss=enabled
    

For keyboard issue:

Method 1:
Run SFC Scan.  

SFC
will
scan
and
run
an
automatic repair
to any
corrupted system files
that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:  

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.   
  

Note:
Kindly run
SFC twice or thrice and check for results before you proceed to the next method.

Method 2: Reset Windows Update Components.

Resetting your
Windows Update Components
will allow you to
install
the update again including the
Text Services Framework. To do this, refer to
How do I reset Windows Update Components.

Hi prajapatiashok,

If you are running the Home version of Windows 10, you will not find gpedit it is only available in the Pro and Enterprise versions . . .

Is there something you need to be done in gpedit - usually that can be done in the Windows Registry also . . .
