Windows 11: Control panel crashes - apps take time to open, but work fine after opened.

Hello,

My laptop used to work fine even after the Windows 11 upgrade, but about a month ago it started taking a long time to open any app, even though the bootup speed is normal. (Once the app is open, it works fine).

Looking for a performance issue, I tried to open the Control Panel, however, it crashes seconds later, not letting me run any of its tools.

I ran the Microsoft antivirus and it didn't find any issues. Also tried running another malware detection software and it also didn't find anything. So, I went on and deleted all temp files in the /temp and %temp% directories. Nothing helped. I even stopped services not related to Microsoft, and even so, the problem continued.

Can anyone please give some light here on how to fix this problem? Reformatting the laptop is out of the question since I depend on it for my work and don't have another machine to replace it in the meantime.

My laptop has the following configurarion:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz 1.99 GHz

Ram: 16,0 GB

Storage: SSD 500Gb (with plenty of space left).

Thanks.

    Hi Carlo,

    First of all, thank you very much for your instructions. I really appreciated that.

    I've followed them by the letter, but unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem.

    Would you have any other suggestions?

    Once again, thank you.
