Hello Kieron, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You should be able to do a system restore using a restore point dated before this started happening to undo and fix it.

thanks for the reply,
all the restore points i have do not remove this error? any other ideas?

In that case, see if downloading and merging the .reg file for the listed .cpl option in the tutorial below may be able to help. It will restore the default associations for control panel items.

just tried this and it didnt solve the problem

As a test, see if you are able to open "Programs and Features" using the shortcut below.

I would also recommend to do a full scan of your system with an AV program (ex: Malwarebytes Free) just to be safe.

it says the same error

Ok. See if also using the .dll option may help then.

this hasnt done anything

In that case, create a new user account for yourself, log in to it, and see if the same error happens.

If not, then you could use the new account instead if you like.

Good day. Restore Point will save you. In addition, I guess the tutorial provided by Brink will solved your problem, otherwise, try to read the post here. Post back if it solved your problem. Thank you.

If that doesn't help, then you may need to reinstall Windows.

If ever you recover your system back, run a full scan of your antivirus. It "may" be the cause.
