Control Panel problem

How can I remove program who joined himself on my control panel? This is a software for a game controller, and I can't remove it.  Any help would be welcome.  Also tried to find the program in Explorer windows with no result.

Are you still using the gamepad?  If this isn't the case, you might want to go into the Device Manager, and then uninstall it.

These control panel applets are .cpl files and they are located in the \Windows\System32 folder.  Do a search for the fichiers.cpl in the System32 folder and you will find the file responsible for the applet, you can double-click on files .cpl to launch and verify their use.

Being that the file is in the System32 folder chances are that the file is protected by Windows File Protection mechanism, you can not delete or rename this file as PAM can replace almost immediately after you delete or rename.  PAM gets copies of the files in the \WINDOWS\system32\dllcache folder so you must rename or remove the file in the dllcache folder, before trying to remove it from the System32 folder.

    My Control Panel will not open. Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Hello

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products you have on your machine? Include all that already been 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
    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 is to find. Retry Control Panel - if no joy persevering of all .cpl files. (Note that others are under other files under C:\Windows not should 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

  • HP ENVY 114 e-all-in-one printer - D411c control panel problem

    The printer has been used for a HP Pavilion with Vista and an HP running Win 7 laptop.  It is configured on a local wireless network.

    I've had the printer for a year and I am very very happy with it, but:

    The Panel recently has stopped working properly.

    It does not complete the boot process and remains with the small blue HP graphic on the screen.

    The printer continues to print correctly on both computers.

    On Vista machine I can run the series HP Envy 110 support demand and access to ink, preferences and analysis levels correctly.

    Win 7 does not demand full support on the machine. I don't get the included links for features like 'see what's printing","Set preferences", the"estimated ink levels"and others. And I can't scan from this machine.

    I have power drove the printer a number of times.

    Is there a secret way to reset the printer, so a default configuration that could properly start whe the control panel is not available?

    I consider myself at least able, both for the work of PC and networks of intermediate level.

    I'm not aware of any HW or SW change other than the frequent patches issued by Microsoft.

    THX,

  • Control Panel and search functionality in Windows 8 close automatically and return to high office; Computer is not compatible with Win 8.1

    I had a problem with Windows 8...  Problem started after several requests of "upgrading to Windows 8.1, I succumbed.  Windows 8.1 was not compatible with my hard drive.  Screen kept flickering.  MS supports finally told me that there is an incompatibility problem.  We have restored the Win 8.  They have me do not upgrade.  But never told me how to avoid invitations.  The problem is finally updated on its own and now after wiping everything 3 times and reinstall my software, I tried to go into the control panel to find where I can disable the automatic upgrade.

    The problem I have now is I can't have in Control Panel or the search function.  Whenever I click on it, a screen appears, and then closes and I'll be back on the desktop.

    My questions:

    How can I fix the problem where the control panel automatically closes?  Can it be done without reinstalling Win 8 for the 4th time?

    Assuming I'm correct, how can I prevent the automatic upgrade to 8.1 Win forever?

    It would have been nice if MS had designed the upgrade to first check the computer to see if she had all the necessary drivers and was otherwise compatible with 8.1 and then if not to prevent the upgrade.  It would have saved me countless hours to deal with this problem.  I'll think twice before getting a computer with windows again.

    If you are not running this time then Windows 8.1 is not the reason why the Panel closes.  This type of problem is almost always a virus or malware, but can also be caused by other programs that are in conflict.  So I'd start first by asking, you run 8.0 at this time?  If so, the closing Control Panel problem is due to corruption or an infection. If you are reasonably sure that you do not have a virus (run scans), so I'll try to remove all recent programs have been installed at the beginning of the question, try to see what is happening in Mode safe mode (hold SHIFT when you click the Restart option to get there).

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

    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?

    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.

    Hello

    Control Panel - SOUNDS - Audio peripheral devices configuration-manager

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    If your driver shows 06 you have the default windows and part of the question.

    Go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest Audio/Sound drivers - download - SAVE - go to the place where you
    Put them - right click on Reboot - RUN AS ADMIN -.

    Check the Version on the tab of the driver in the device as a sound Manager often restoring drivers, then install
    the current version. Restart and check after each try, not uncommon to have to run the pilot of 1 to 4 times or more.
    Just make sure that the version you have installed appears in the tab of the driver.

    Then navigate to the site of the manufacturer of the device and search for the drivers more recent and repeat the installation procedure.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Sound problems. When I try to test my sound in the Control Panel, it says "the test sound could not be played."

    For about two days, my sound is really starting to * me off. = D now, the problem is that it seems to you that it works (its icon in the lower-right corner is white and with three soundwaves), however, there just not sound at all. When I try to test my sound in Control Panel, it says "the test sound could not be played." When I go into the Device Manager, it says that everything is up to date and working correctly. Also, when I try to play any audio or video file in WMV, he said is a problem and it stops at the video. I tried deleting and reinstalling all audio drivers and then it works for about two minutes, but then it stops working again.

  • 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.

  • Problems with error Windows Audio and Control Panel "one or more of the audio service is not running.

    I'm a bit of a technophobe, but I'll try to explain my problem, I got better.  I recently had a problem with Windows 8 and refreshed my system.  After refreshing, I installed AVG Anti-virus and that's where my problems really started.  After installing AVG I have no sound and my control panel usually pop up.  The box is displayed but there is nothing in it and it sorts just of sticks, frozen.  I tried the fixes recommended to fix my sound. The speaker in my taskbar icon has a red x on it and when I try to open it it goes right to the problem-solving mode, then comes up with "one or more of the audio service is not running.  When I try "run services.msc' and try to start Windows Audio through Services I get error 0x800706cc.  I tried to uninstall AVG and reboot, but it did make a difference.  Please help, this leads me to the madness now.  Nothing I try seems to work!

    Installation of AVG is when the problems started, I would start by undoing that.  Since the normal uninstall did not help, use system restore to return to a work situation.  Check here and use the #1 option.
