    oliver needs it for Minecraft and GTA san andreas

    1.  hold windows key and type R wait for the window titled "run" to come up.

    1. type this in: "C:\Windows\System32\control.exe" <copy/cut n paste works too (if you click and hold and move the mouse on this page you'll notice it'll turn blue  put text before this in blue right click and click copy then use windows key + R to bring the window up and press CTRL + V to paste or right click the box to insert text and click paste) 
    2. hit enter or click ok also make sure you have control panel in icon view not category if its in category simply click category and click large icons... It's a drop down then follow the instructions on previous post.

    I have done this and it just initializes and then carries on looking for the files, I've had to switch my pc off at the button because it won't stop doing it even though I've clicked the x at the righthand top of the box

    Also after the update you have to navigate settings to force control panel to open so to get around that: 

    1. press windows key + r
    2. Then type: control
    3. hit enter

    then follow instructions above others posted.
