Windows 10: Missing control panel

I am unable to find my Control Panel today. I see the words control panel when I right click on the menu after clicking on the start button. But nothing happens. It does not open. I have been researching it all day but to no avail. I am using an Acer laptop and I updated to Windows 10 last July. I have had this control panel until today. Can someone help me to restore it? Thanks so much.

Control Panel Options Missing

Hi Ken,

Since you've mentioned that you're unable to go to Control Panel>
Appearance and Personalization > Display after installing an update, we'd like to confirm if this option is no longer available or you're getting an error message. Please send us a
screenshot of what's
showing up when you tried going to that option so we can isolate your concern. If you would like to check the update history, follow these steps:

• Type settings in the Search box.
• Click Update & security.
• Select Windows Update. In the right-hand corner, you'll see
  Update history and click on that.

We'll wait for your response.

 

Control Panel Options Missing

You might want to read a similar thread with a post at the end giving a script to help the problem.

My computer just finished updating Windows 10 to verson 1703(?) on 6-18-2017.

 

Have you tried Start
Left Click
Click All Apps
Scroll down to
Windows System
Clink to Open it
Click Control Panel and it will open
Also Right Clink
This you can then Pin To Start
Then you can open it that way
Also you can pin it to Task Bar as well
That way you can probably get your Control Panel working again

Also have you tried System Restore and find a date when it was working ok
If none of this works then follow this link
SFC Command - Run in Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Will it open if you type control panel in the search bar > then press Enter ?

If that does not help, please find out what else do not open on the list after you've right clicked at Start button.

 

Thank you very much. I actually right clicked on the unusable control panel shortcut icon and actually got my cp back on my computer. I then pinned it to my task bar and it is okay. But I do see what you are talking about and I really appreciate you helping me. I am happy there is this forum to help me in the future.

 

Glad you got it working ok
Also glad this forum could help you
