Error when attempting to open Control Panel
I used to open Windows 10 control panel by issuing 'control' command in run window. Recently this fails, leaving the following message:
There was a problem sending the command to the program. ::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}

What would the reason and the solution be?
windows-10 control-panel run-dialog

If you right-click the Start button and click "Control Panel" does it give you the same error? Have you run asfc /scannowyet?

Yes. but is says:sfc /scannow Beginning system scan. This process will take some time. Beginning verification phase of system scan. Verification 100% complete. Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

After working on this problem I finally found the reason not the way out: it is due to "Directory Opus windows explorer replacement feature". On Windows 10 it does NOT work properly.

For me, the problem was that I had replaced Windows Explorer as default directory browser with Q-Dir. This was resolved with a Registry script from the maker of Q-Dir: https://www.softwareok.com/?page=Windows/Info/Q-Dir/8
