You do not say which Win 10 TP build you are now using.
If you are using one of the latest, i.e. 10041 or 10049, you might not need a link to Control Panel or Command Prompts in Start Menu screen.
Right click at Start button > the popup box gives you a list which, among others, includes Control Panel link and 2 Command Prompt links.
Adding.....
Slightly off topic: when you login to your account, it opens to the desktop. Right ?
So, wouldn't it be more convenient to create shortcuts to desktop ?

I cloud control panel doesn´t start

Even the task manager shows a running icloud.exe file, the I cloud control panel is not visible. There is no way to make it visible. Wether in clicking the button in the task bar nor in the system control panel of win 7

- Try to open Control Panel as Administrator (right klick>run as Administrator).
- Make the iCloud-Icon visible in the System Tray and start iCloud from there.

Sound Blaster z control panel slow to start slow to use

I have recently fitted the Sound Blaster z sound card to my PC. The motherboard is an a Gigabyte X58 OC.
The soundcard is working well and sounds great. However the Sound Blaster Z-Series control panel takes an age to start up, literally minutes. It works OK once it has started up although it takes a devil of a time to switch to the CrystalVoice, Cinematic or Mixer tabs, again minutes. The other tabs are fine though.
My X58 motherboard has four PCI express 2.0 slots configured
x16_1
x8_1
x16_2
x8_2
There are NO PCI express x1 or x4 slots.
A graphics card is connected to the x16_1 slot. The sound card is connected to the x8_2 slot. The other two slots are empty. I have googled the issue and am led to believe the software is behaving like this because the sound card is not connected to a PCI express x1 or x4 slot. But why is is? I have tested the x16_2 and x8_2 slots with an Intel NIC x1 and that works fine. As the soundcard is working fine this would seem to be an issue with the software rather than the hardware. Is there anyway to fix this? Luckily this is not a showstopper as I don't need to use the software regularly but nevertheless surely Creative would expect to do better.

I hate replying to my own threads but as no help has been forthcoming, this information may of use to others....
What I have found out is that x16 or x8 PCI express slots are connected to the X58 IOH northbridge chip. x1 PCI express slots are connected to the ICH10/ICH10R southbridge chip.
I am guessing this difference is why the Soundblaster Z-series control panel software works with x1 slots and only very slowly with the x16 /x8 slots. It is unfortunate I have a motherboard only with PCI express slots connected to the ICH10 ICH10R chip.
Of course why the software can't work properly with the X58 IOH Northbrige chip, only Creative can answer. It would be nice to hear from Creative and even nicer of they could fix the control panel software!

I have iCloud installed on my PC, but can't find it in the control panel.

I have downloaded and installed the app twice. The directions given by Apple say to look at Network and Internet in the control panel, but there is nothing named that in Windows 7. I've looked in Network and Sharing, Internet Options, Remoteapp and Desktop Connections--the most obvious substitutions--and none of them show iCloud. What should I do next?

Can you try to open it from a web page; e.g. http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html - right-click on the Flash animation and select Global Settings.

[Sound Blaster ZX]Control Panel takes 6 MINUTES to load and is nearly unusable?!

All,
Yesterday I took the plunge and picked up a Sound Blaster ZX to replace my old Audigy Platinum. Unfortunately I've been met with a series of problems that leave me with a bad taste in my mouth about my purchase.
The driver install seemed to go well though it was a little disconcerting when the 'Check for update' button in the auto update tool that runs right after install was grayed out. I noticed that I was not getting sound out of the 5.1 analog inputs that I had connected up to my Logitech Z680 speaker system. So I checked the system tray and there was a new SB icon there, that was clearly a utility to get to the configuration. Knowing this was probably the right place to start fiddling with the settings, I clicked it. And waited. And waited. And waited some more.
Strange I thought, so I checked the Windows task manager and located the Sound Blaster control panel in the list of running processes. I waited another minute or so and still nothing was displaying. So I killed the process in task manager, located the shortcut to the SB ZX control panel in the start menu and launched it. Again with the waiting. I immediately took to google and started researching a potential problem with this card.
As I was searching and had forgotten that I had launched the Control Panel, it suddenly showed up on my screen. Wow I thought, that took a while to load. I then proceeded to try to navigate the various areas of the Control Panel application. I was immediately concerned when I noticed that the app was not responsive and appeared to be frozen. I decided to patiently wait to see if it would wake up. Fortunately it did, though only after waiting for several minutes. I then attempted to close the Control Panel app, which it did after several more minutes of waiting.
I thought maybe there was some anomalous process running so I decided to try the Control Panel from a fresh boot. After my machine had started up, I clicked the SB icon in the system tray again, only this time I was going to time it. I recorded that it took 6 FULL MINUTES from the time I clicked the icon until the application displayed on my screen. Further, the lag of switching between the various areas of the application was as high as 3-4 minutes. In essence this software is completely unusable.
I decided to try the TOSLINK connections between my speaker system and the soundcard to see if it would respond better. I set the mixer settings(via the built in Windows mixer) and I could get it to produce sound albiet only in two channel stereo. Progress, or so I thought. So I switched back to the analog connections and there was no difference in the response of the control panel. I had found some instances where an onboard or video card based HDMI audio driver might interfere with the card. I had long since disabled the on board sound of my Asus P5Q Pro motherboard via the BIOS so there were no drivers hanging around from it. I then took a look at the device manager and disabled the ATI High Defintion Audio device that was likely part of my SAPPHIRE 100259-1GL Radeon HD 4870 video card. This had no effect, I was still getting no sound from my speakers and the interface is abysmally lagged.
I then took the following steps to no avail:
Uninstall all Soundblaster ZX drivers and software
Restart machine
Install the updated Soundblaster ZX software from the Creative Support site: http://support.creative.com/Products...T=CategoryID:1
Nothing I have tried has resolved the issue with the virtually unusable lag that occurs when trying to run the Control Panel and/or configure the Soundblaster ZX or the amount of time it takes to start up.
Anyone experienced this and know of a fix or a remedy? I really want to enjoy this sound card.
**UPDATE**
I just wanted to post up and say that I solved this issue by first uninstalling all drivers for both the SB ZX and my Radeon graphics card. I then used Driver Fusion(http://treexy.com/products/driver-fusion) to perform a registry/file cleanup on all files associated with AMD graphics cards and Creative sound cards. Then I installed the drivers & software for the SB ZX from the CD that came in the box. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the software was responsive and the hardware was fully functioning. I then installed the software for my Radeon card however this time, I selected a custom install and chose NOT to install the HDMI audio driver. I don't know if this was key or not but at any rate, after the graphics card drivers and software was installed I am happy to report that the SB ZX software remained responsive and fully functioning.
I then updated the SB ZX software to the version linked above(1.0.22) from the version that ships on the CD - 1.0.13 and strangely the Cinematic tab disappeared from the Pro Studio control panel. Some research revealed that this tab is dependent on the Creative Labs Extras which seemed to have gotten nuked during the update. I was able to bring back the Cinematic tab by re-installing the extras from the CD, however it only installed the Dolby Digital Live component. DTS connect is still missing. I am going to do a little more research to see what I can do to get it back.
Hope this helps someone who runs into this same predicament.

Any news about the SoundBlaster Zx Linux drivers? Currently, there's no way to get even the most basic sound of it on Linux.

"Hide specified Control Panel items" no effect on 2012 R2?

That is from gpresult /h from user that is logged in viewing the control panel.
Also weird behavior. When I type "control panel" from the start screen I get no results. Only way I can open control panel is from PC Settings...?

Hi Allister,
>>That is from gpresult /h from user that is logged in viewing the control panel.
Before going further, what's the operating system of our domain controller?
Besides, Is the server 2012 R2 a domain controller? If not, we can try to temporarily un-configure the setting in the domain GPO, and then try to configure the setting in the local GPO on the server 2012 R2 with its local group policy editor (gpedit.msc) to
check if the policy setting can be applied successfully. If the policy setting can be applied successfully locally, we can copy the admx files (%systemroot%\PolicyDefinitions) on Server 2012R2 to central store (%systemroot%\sysvol\domain\policies\PolicyDefinitions),
install group policy management tool on the server 2012r2, and then configure the setting from the server.
In addition, the following thread focused on similar issue and can be work taking a look.

Creative Audio Control Panel

I have just installed Windows 7. With an update to my bios, and newest drivers from both Micorosft and my motherboards website. I installed the newest drivers from Creative for my Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio, and installed the Audio Conrol Panel. Every time i try and open the control panel I get this error below. Is anyone else having this issue. Any help would be great. Thanks in advice.
"The audio device supported by this application is not detected.
The applicaiton will exit."
Thanks!!

?Thanks for the link.
The beta Console Launcher has installed without a problem but the Audio Control Panel still isn't appearing in Window 7's Control Panel. The Console Launcher didn't install an Audio Control Panel in the Start Menu though and I thought that the Audio Control Panel was installed with the drivers rather than the Console Launcher (I could be wrong though).

While installing a PDF conversion program, start now/bing was installed, and after removal, instead of my home page, I have the Firefox start page even though mine is in the control panel.

You pretty much have it. Primopdf was the initial program, and zugoremovaltool was the remove tool. Prior to zugo, I had removed by add/remove in the control panel as well as going into program files and windows and deleting the programs. While trying to remove primopdf, I discovered it had its own uninstall program, which I ran. I restored my home page to the control panel only still to have start now/bing. I ran zugo and restored my home page to the control panel only to be stuck with the Firefox start page.

I thought about that before and tried it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. I did it just now, I opened a blank tab and closed everything else, waited a minute then closed Firefox. I waited another minute and launched Firefox. The Restore Previous Session box was there on about:home. I clicked it and it opened a new window with about:home in it.

Inbox has taken over my Mozilla Firefox page, as well as the Internet Explorer. How do I get rid of it? It's no longer on my Control Panel to delete/

Looking for map/info about MARC from Martinsburg, WV to DCA, it appeared I needed to "sign in" to get info. InBox took over the homepage screen.
I have gone to Control Panel and deleted Inbox from there. But, it AIN'T gone. I don't want to go into any of my accounts - bank acc't, etc. for fear of unsafety.

Try uninstalling that '''SearchToolbar/1.2''', which is probably how you got Bing as your Firefox Homepage. Then reset the Firefox homepage '''in Firefox''', not '''''Internet Options'''''.

Exception trying to start the JRE Control Panel

I've run into some persistent problem with seemingly any version of the JRE on my WinXP system. Whenever I try to start the control panel, either from the Windows Control Panel UI, or from the Java system tray icon, I get an exception error:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 365
     at com.sun.deploy.panel.UpdatePanel.setText(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.deploy.panel.UpdatePanel.actionPerformed(Unknown Source)

     at com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel.<init>(Unknown Source)
     at com.sun.deploy.panel.ControlPanel.main(Unknown Source)
This is what happens on the first attempt after the OS has booted, and subsequent attempts just result in nothing obvious happening (no control panel, no error, nothing).
I currently have JRE 1.6.0_07-b06 installed, but this seems to be happening with any JRE version I try. I had remnants of older JRE's under C:\Program Files\java, and I went through ensuring that each was removed (if I could get rid of it via Add/Remove Applications, I used that) until I was down to zero other than the MS JVM that is inherently part of Windows. I then installed the current Sun JRE and still have the problem. :-\ So not sure what it is the JRE control panel is trying to do here, nor how to fix it other than reinstalling the OS (and I'm not that desperate, but it really is annoying).
I figure it's probably something still hanging around in the Registry (<shudder!>) and poking around under HKLM\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft, I see keys for various old versions under the \Java Plug-in, \Java Runtime Environment, and \Java Web Start keys, most of which look like references to directories or files which no longer exist on the system. Any thoughts as to whether I can just safely delete these keys as a sanity check (jeez I wish Sun had steered clear of the Registry)? What I'm wondering is since the JRE control panel (when it works :-) shows you a list of installed JREs it found, I'm wondering if these bogus versions listed in the Registry are causing the ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the reply.
Although the security of Windows XP SP3 32 bit is compromised by Microsoft no longer supporting XP, if Windows XP was restored as claimed, you should still be able to install/uninstall Premiere Elements versions of it that you did before the Microsoft support removal.
I think a revisit to the Geeks would be in order. It may be that they could not restore Windows XP because of the Microsoft non support. I would take along the Premiere Elements installation disks so that you do not leave there without actually seeing Premiere Elements (or a non Adobe program) running on your restored Windows XP. What was the other software that you tried to use that did not work?
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Best wishes
Thanks.
