Cannot open powercfg.cpl

1

I cannot open powercfg.cpl

When i was opening control panel, windows explorer stopped working and shows "windows explorer is restarting". but control panel is not opening. I went to windows directory>>system32 and checked for powercfg.cpl file it was not working.

Any idea about how I can fix this problem?

Thank you!

Did you try in Safe Mode? System restore? – CharlieRB – 2014-02-20T19:50:19.440

This problem surfaces after a reboot? – Ramhound – 2014-02-20T20:48:19.283

@CharlieRB I tried Safe Mode, System restore is not possible as I don't know when the problem started. – Chethan N – 2014-02-21T03:11:58.343

@Ramhound the problem occurs when I try to open control panel. – Chethan N – 2014-02-21T03:12:33.143

create the dump and share it. Everything else else pure speculation. – magicandre1981 – 2014-02-21T05:13:11.517

I know it occurs when you open the control panel. But does the problem happen when you reboot or boot into safe mode? – Ramhound – 2014-02-21T12:08:49.610

No, it doesn't happen on boot. – Chethan N – 2014-02-21T15:46:35.780

looks like you don't want help. Why do you ask here if you don't provide the required data to troubleshoot the issue? – magicandre1981 – 2014-02-21T18:13:00.323

You can try to do a scan sfc /scannow to check the integrity of system files.

The sfc /scannow command scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with correct Microsoft versions.

Good luck.
