My Control Panel items have disappeared

[Steven Hanson]

Might anyone be able to tell me why my Control Panel items have disappeared,
and what I can do to get them back? I haven't made any changes to the
computer except to install some games. I noticed the missing items today,
but I haven't done anything to the computer today.

Try this:
1) Launch services.msc from a run command
2) Find the SLUNotify service & stop it
3) Find the Software Licensing service & stop it (it may say that ReadyBoost
needs that service to run; stop it anyway)
4) Restart both services, starting with Software Licensing

Thank you, Andre. This simple fix worked.
