• KB3035583 failed - cannot access control panel or turn off PC

  Because today, I'm not able to access control panel or turn off my PC Windows8.

  I checked the software updates, and I see that the KB3035583 update failed last night. If windows 10 update I don't want installed nor am I eligible for it. However, this update failed meant now I can not access PC settings, control panel or turn off my PC. Also I am not able to run any command as an administrator because it tells me that I don't have that even if I am sure that this feature is enabled, and it's my PC denied access. I also tried restore but even that does not work.

  Advice please?

  • Windows RE installs a new copy of Windows.

• Cannot access control panel or Windows updates and not more sound

  Yesterday, I restarted my computer and a message keeps popping up that I am victim of software counterfeiting (in reference to Microsoft Windows) when I bought the computer at Future Shop just a year ago. Also, now there is a red X on the speaker icon in the corner and said "no audio output device is installed". I followed the instructions mentioned in another post, as well as other Web sites, and nothing seems them works. Above everything else, I can not access the control panel. It appears and disappears immediately. If this were not already enough, Windows Update does not work or the other. The icon is there, but whenever I click on it, nothing happens.
  I only bought the computer a year ago, and there is already a long list of problems with it. I'm at the end of my rope! If someone is brave enough to tackle these problems, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

• Cannot access control panel

  Hello

  I'm trying to access the control panel and whenever I try to access the control panel it comes up with an error that Windows Explorer has stopped working and said then that reset Windows Explorer.  I stopped and restarted and that did not help.

  An error in ntdll indicates that something has corrupted once you fixed with SFC. You need to an antivirus and anti-spyware software to help you. You must restore the backup system, if available.

• Repair Windows scam - cannot control panel access control or workstation "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close."

  Original title: repair Windows scam - Can can't Access Control Panel or workstation

  My system has been recently infected with "Windows" repair"virus. I managed to delete using Super Anti-Spyware, but all my desktop shortcuts are gone (hidden) so I downloaded "Unhide.exe" and get all my shortcuts. Most of them seems to be working as before, but there are a few, such as 'My Computer', ' Panel, "My Documents", or even "Windows Explorer", which I can't access.» When I try to open them, I get this popup box saying "Windows Explorer has encountered a problem and needs to close" how much he out me of my office of kicks.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  Brian

  The best way to solve this maybe just create a new user account, transfer your personal data to this account, and then delete the old account. Make sure that you perform the system restore after you did the new account and everything works fine. To purge the system restore, simply disable it then again. Be aware that the creation of a new user account is not the means to get rid of malware. But it is perhaps the best way to get rid of some of the after effects. However, I recommend you scan with Malwarebytes before running these instructions. After scanning you may not create the new account.

  In addition, Jose is correct. Good number of new forms of malware prevent the start in safe mode. Trying to force booting in SafeMode with msconfig, you end up with a boot loop.

  I'm trying to get the dial upward through the phone line, but cannot access control panel. The screen acts like he wants to come but soon left out.

  The laptop itself is a battlefield. I have to disable the player application to Windows loading. I can't access Windows on my administrative journal to and instead go through another user, I created to manufacture and store music. Start menu opens, but most / all Windows clients will not open.

  I remember 'cleaning up' in the Panel of control for more than a year, I don't remember when the last time was that I could get into the controls. Any help on how get opened would be gladly appreciated.

  Hello

  To be honest I have never heard of these problems but theoretically, it could be a virus or something else or your Windows installation is damaged, who knows?

  Do you have an AntiVirus tool? So, I can recommend the AntiVir freeware tool. It s small and fast and I have pretty good experience with it.
  Check this box!

  The problem persists there for a few days? If so, you can try a system restore to an earlier point. :)

• problem with the control panel.

  I have a laptop with win7 32 bit. I installed 3 days ago and yesterday when I want to go in Panel said that Explorer Windows has stopped working. Except that everything works perfectly.
  I don't know what to do, I tried everything. I did the test of memory, I checked all the files *. Cpl, I scan the viruses and malware (I have kaspersky internet security), I put the control panel to show me that I can access the options menu, it does not work, I tried to install the patch 296 934 and he said something like that is not suitable for the operating system... I'm desperate, I don't know what to do.
  Can you help me please?

  Please excuse my English.

  IF it works in safe mode, you can use a clean boot to diagnose what is causing the problem. It won't take long to test.

  Another thing to try is to create a new user profile and connect through that to see if a new user can access control panel. You can delete the new account if it is not helping, or transfer your data to the new account if it helps.

  You might also consider trying a repair to re install - install windows 'above' of your existing system which should NOT replace your existing installation or data.

  Or, if this happened recently, you could try a system restore to a point before the error occurred.
