Solved Unable to open network connections folder

[Denns01]

hi all,
i have a problem with entering the network connections folder.
When i try to enter it from Controlpannel/network and internet/network and sharing center, i can click on the link manage network connections but windows doesn't respond at all.
i also tryed entering controlpannel/network and internet/network connections in the navigation bar, resulting in an error message saying it cannot find controlpannel/network and internet/network connections.

i really hope somebody can help me out here,
ps. sorry for bad grammar

Try clicking the Start Orb and type ncpa.cpl and click on it when it appears. Does that bring up the page you're looking for?

Restore your system using the option of 'system restore' to default. Now you can open network connections folder.

that's going to be my last resort if there are other options i'd like to try them first

You might try running sfc /scannow in an elevated command prompt to check/repair system files. See SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

You're welcome!

Does seem as though you had more issues than you intially thought. It would be helpful if you could post back with your results.

well i'm starting to believe my os is pretty much ****ed up, i've runned the scannow command for about 15 to 20 times now, and it still finds problems -.-

Too many times, not likely to do you any good. Although I do have to ask if it's progressing further along on each run. There was a mention of a System Restore in a previous post. It's a worthwhile endeavor as it works very well.

If you're looking for a repair or reinstall let us know, or check out the tutorials for doing this on this site. Very well written and accurate.

i already tryed system restore it didn't work, the earlyest restore point (wich was sadly enough about 2 weeks ago) still had the problem, i can't get much usefull data out of the cbs log, i'll upload it perhaps you can get something out of it.

i'll try and fix it probably till sunday, if it isn't fixed by then, i'll buy an ssd and reïntall windows on the ssd. but first i shall look into one of those repair tutorials you were talking about

 

[Denns01]

here is the log

What other problems does the machine have? Is it only the network page you cannot get to? That cbs log looks pretty rough; seems as though it should be exhibiting more problems. Then again I don't have that much experience reading those logs.

This should be easy to fix if it's only the network page problem.

 

[Denns01]

i haven't found more errors than just the network page. guess i'll buy me an ssd
well it maybe should be but for as far as i'm concerned the easy to fix part is long over xD

Make sure your data is backed up, and then check this out to see if it'll help:
