Solved: Network and sharing center won’t open in Control Panel – HP Support Community – 3800578

Hello Hamanslayer

Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

I understand Network and Sharing Center will not open. I will do my best to assist you! Please launch and Network and Sharing Center and wait it for it to provide an error. Also, please try launching Network and Sharing Center in a different user account. If you do not have one, create one.

I have done some research on this issue. Unfortunately, the only reliable troubleshooting that is remaining, if the above does not help, is to reinstall the operating system. There are too many different issues that could be causing it. Reinstalling the operating system will address all of them.

First, please backup any files that you need. You can find accurate steps on how to do this in the following HP document: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 7)

Once this is done, you can safely reinstall the operating system. I will also provide a document on how to do this: Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)

Please let me know your results. Thanks again for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
