When I attempt to access a Control Panel via the Jump List -- "Set Program Associations" -- I get this error:

There was a problem loading the 'Set a Default Program' page.  (Error code: 80004005)

I did an online search for this and I found the exact same post by someone else in the Windows 7 forum from 2009.  I just wanted to say this is still an issue apparently.

I don't know why I am having this issue; that is to say I just reinstalled my operating system seven hours before; I should in theory have a perfectly good working system.

I had Windows Pro 8.1 with Windows Media Center and wanted to clean things up. So I stuck in my Windows Pro 8 disc and reinstalled that. After the fresh Windows 8 Pro install was completed I installed absolutely every single Windows Update there was for Windows 8.  I then proceeded to the Windows Store and did the Windows 8.1 installation; it gave me Windows 8.1 Pro. After that update I again installed every single Windows Update there was for 8.1.  All of this took seven hours.

At no point during any of this did I change, move or install anything else. It was an untouched system from start to finish. After everything was completed and my system was ready for my personal use, not long after I got that error message.

If I access the "Set Associations" directly from the Control Panel I have no issues, but if I try to use the "Set Program Associations" from the Control Panel's Jump List this error pops up every time.

Hi,

Regarding current information, we need to use process monitor to capture the system events of both these behavior, then compare to find the differences:

Process Monitor v3.05

If there is any differences with error file not find or access denied, post back.

You'd better also post back the saved system events of both these scenario for our research.
