• List of "programs and features" Control Panel does not display some "details".

  I already have 'Last used' in the menu of details and the column IS showing on the list of programs. but the data is empty for all the programs.   I have a LOT of details added selected and all columns in the details chosen gave except this one (but then, how can I trust the lack of data in other columns?)  I wonder why?  Believe me, I have used many of them!  Secondary question is: How to fix , and if it can be fixed in the Panel, is there another way I can get the same info?

  Hello

  What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on your machine? Include all that already had
  including those that you uninstalled. (These can leave leftovers that can cause strange problems.)

  A search for all most .cpl files will be in "C:\Windows\System32" However, you can have others. Click
  on each of them at a time and see if it does not start - if so right-click on it and rename it using cpZ as
  the extension is to find. Retry Control Panel - if no joy persevering of all .cpl files. (Note the)
  others are under other files under C:\Windows should not be judged because they are not active.)

  Some of them are appwiz.cpl firewall.cpl, desk.cpl, powercfg.cpl, inetcpl.cpl, timedate.cpl and others.

  Try these in case the General corruption has a role to play:

  Start - type this in the search box-> find COMMAND at the top and RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

  Enter this at the command prompt - sfc/scannow

• Control Panel - programs and features

• Programs and features: frequency of use of program

  I remember in Windows XP, the programs and features Control Panel had a feature that let the user know how many times a program has been used ("seldom", "occasionally" or "frequently") in order to help the user to decide which programs to remove. However, it does not appear to be such a feature in the programs and features Control Panel in Windows 7. Is this true? And if not, how to validate such a device?

  No, it was deleted because it was inadequate.  A few details about how it calculates information used last is here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2004/07/09/178342.aspx

  This little special (last used) was more difficult to determine reliably.
