Run, Command Prompt, and Control panel has disappeared

[alex773]

My Problem is a bit complicated. I don't know why but suddenly my Run and Command Prompt has disappeared from the search box and all the options disappeared. But My Control Panel still has in the search box but its icon has changed to the old icon and there are no options. This happens after i logged in to my licensed office account and relaunched my office 365 app. Someone, please help me.

It was probably an update that caused the problem (unexpected changes or something that suddenly stopped working that was working perfectly before).

How to Put the Command Prompt Back on the Windows+X Power Users Menu

When you install the Windows 10 Creators Update, you may notice Command Prompt missing from the Power Users menu.

As for why you can no longer pin to start/taskbar I have no idea, maybe this will help.

Hi,

boot into Advanced Start-up Options and see if you can troubleshoot the problem from there!.

As to Command Prompt and Control Panel, both have been/are being replaced by PowerShell and Settings but are still available and I have both Pinned to my Taskbars on both Home and Pro versions of Win10. It's easy once they are opened and showing on the Taskbar to right-click and Pin.
