What should I do if the Win10 system control panel cannot be opened?

The setup application has been added to the Win10 system, so you can change the basic settings of Win10 without opening the Win10 control panel. However, there are still many old users of Microsoft systems who are more accustomed to using the control panel. If the control panel doesn't open, it's also an annoyance for them. So what about the Win10 system's control panel?

The specific method is as follows:

1. Press Win+R to open the run and enter the following path to enter

%SystemRoot%\\System32

2. Search for *.cpl in the System32 folder and some gadgets in the control panel will appear in the search results. Part of .cpl is added for third-party software, which adds its own entry in the control panel.

3, repair the damaged .cpl file.

Double-click each .cpl file separately, and if you can't open the control panel, these files are corrupted. If the third party .cpl is damaged, just delete it. If the system comes with .cpl, please use the following method to fix it:

Run CMD as administrator and enter sfc /scannow to wait for the scan to complete. Then restart the system.

4, repair cpl file association.

Create a new txt text file, copy the following text into the txt file, and rename the file to cpl.reg (remove the original txt suffix) to save. Double-click cpl.reg to import the registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.cpl]

@=“cplfile”

“Generic”=“system”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\.cpl\\PersistentHandler]

@=“{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\cplfile]

@=“Control Panel extension&

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\cplfile\\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\cplfile\\shell\\cplopen]

@=“ Open with Control Panel&

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\cplfile\\shell\\cplopen\\command]

@=“rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL %1,%*”

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\cplfile\\shell\ unas]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\cplfile\\shell\ unas\\command]
<=> @=“rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLLAsUser %1, %*”

The above is the solution that Win10 control panel can't open. By modifying the registry key, you can restore the Win10 control panel to solve the problem that the Win10 control panel cannot be opened.
