• Windows Update Control Panel does not open in Windows 8

  Hello

  I use Windows 8 unique language that came pre-installed with my laptop.

  My problem is that the option to update windows from the Control Panel does not open. All other options like Firewall, power, administration etc tool are all very well opening. but every time I try to access windows update, it gets stuck, curious thing is that explore is not having hung or whatever it is, the Explorer appears not any message "not responding" in Task Manager either, everything else seems to work fine, except for the update of windows which is completely frozen.

  I've included a snapshot of the frozen window also...

  I tried to use the restore of the system for as long as possible, but it does not work. I want to update to windows 8.1, unfortunately I can't do unless I upgrade my windows 8 first. Please help me to solve the problem...

  Thanks in advance

  Click with the right button on the taskbar, go to properties, Start Menu tab and click Customize.
  Select Control Panel: DISPLAY AS a MENU.

  Now, try to restart. You can access the components of the control panel in the start menu. You can open one of them without having to open the control panel. And after you open one of them, you can access the entire panel without crashing (right click the start menu panel control and click OPEN).

  It really solved my problem, I hope that it fixes yours. :)

  Hello, MontFly

  While Ramesh Srinivasan, information on how to solve such a problem is - as always - very useful, it might be useful to examine exactly why a user observes this behavior.  This can happen for several reasons, and the problem is common enough that Microsoft has produced a Fixit (50542) automated troubleshooting for Windows XP which is widely applicable for Vista and 7 FixIt 50542 appear in both article KB266668 "Add / Remove Programs displays incorrectly installed programs' and also via the options appropriate to the CARPET (Microsoft Automated troubleshooting solutions) Fixit Center (where much) many other problems can also be addressed to 'automatically').

  Users who want to understand some technical aspects behind this problem may wish to read the

  Seven sons of Forums "Windows 7: Control Panel, uninstall programs"and the thread in Forum Windows "programs installed lack of features & programs in the control panel".»

  I find that users experience more common four reasons have this problem on their computers

  Hello

  I had the same problem, caused by an update of thugs. I had to do a repair installation to fix the problem. For this,.

  1. Start your Windows computer.
  2. Insert your Windows system DVD into the DVD drive.
  3. Once there either using Windows Explorer or AutoPlay navigate Windows system disc and double-click on the file called "Setup.exe".
  4. Let Windows boot phase review and collection, when that is complete, Windows continues to install Windows 7 on your existing installation of Windows 7. If there is a problem, Windows will give you the opportunity to continue or back out (I would recommend back out).
  5. Once installation is complete, you will need to then activation key, then go to Windows Update and precede to download and install all the WU you miss.

  That's all. It takes more time to make that a full install as Windows must work around your installed files. But it is the method that worked for me.

  Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

  Welcome to the Microsoft Community Forum.

  According to the description, I understand that some features don't not throw in Control Panel. I'll be happy to help you with your query. However, let me ask you a few questions to better understand the issue and assist you accordingly.

  1. What happens when you try to start the service, as said above?
  2. You receive an error message? If Yes, what is the exact and complete error message?
  3. You did any hardware/software specific change in the computer before the show?
  4. You use any third-party antivirus installed on your computer program?

  The issue may have been caused due to conflicts between third-party software. Try these steps and see if they help.

  Step 1: Start in safe mode

  With the parameters of Windows startup screen (formerly advanced startup options), you can start Windows in different advanced troubleshooting modes, so you can find and fix problems on your PC. In previous versions of Windows, you might get to the screen by pressing F8 before Windows starts. Windows 8 PCs starts quickly, so there is no enough time to press F8.

  See the article: Start settings for Windows (including safe mode)

  Step 2: Perform the clean boot

  Put your system to the clean boot state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. You must follow the steps in the article mentioned below to perform a clean boot.

  See the link to perform the clean boot.
