    Windows Settings Missing And Can't Open Windows Menu


    I have never had this issue before and I cannot find a fix to it.

    So, this started happening after the most recent windows update and no clue what to do. I can't access the windows settings or menu at bottom left or anything. When I try to open up settings through run I get an error that says "C:\WINDOWS\system32\settings The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable. I also tried doing something and don't remember the exact error but I remember it saying that cdp.dll is missing so I went to go check and it wasn't there. Not sure what cdp.dll is but it's missing. If you guys know a solution please let me know!

    :)

    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

    Windows Settings Missing And Can't Open Windows Menu

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?
