User Accounts open Notepad?


Question

Strange problem but it seems when I click on User Accounts in the Control Panel, it opens up Notepad instead and it gives the following error (see pic).

I searched around for an answer but I haven't been able to come up with anything.

Suggestions anyone?

Thanks!

Edit: Yes, I have already tried a System Restore, and I have replaced the existing Nusrmgr.cpl with the backup I made before changing things around but still nothing.

Ok I've found a fix for this.

You have to enable HTA apps (usually disabled with HTAstop) to run in Windows.

After enabling them again the User Accounts now open properly.

I've attached the HTAstop file to help out anyone who needs this.

Thanks for your help everyone!

    • Meta announces 20-year nuclear energy partnership to support its data centres by Fiza Ali Meta announced a 20-year partnership with Constellation Energy today to secure nuclear power from the Clinton Clean Energy Center, reinforcing its commitment to clean energy for its data centre operations. Meta’s data centres lie at the heart of its global operations, powering everything from social media platforms to artificial intelligence technologies. As demand for AI accelerates, these facilities require vast and consistent amounts of electricity to maintain performance, reliability, and uptime. Meta currently matches its electricity consumption with 100% clean and renewable energy. As energy demands increase, particularly due to the growth of AI workloads, the company is incorporating additional energy sources such as nuclear power to maintain a consistent supply. Under the agreement, which begins in 2027, Meta will purchase 1,121 megawatts of emissions-free nuclear electricity from the Clinton plant in Illinois. The deal includes an additional 30 megawatts of capacity to the local grid and will help maintain the long-term operation of the facility without relying on state subsidies. It also supports over 1,100 local jobs and contributes $13.5 million annually in tax revenue. In parallel with the Constellation agreement, Meta is progressing its previously announced Request for Proposals (RFP) for new nuclear capacity. Since the RFP was launched early this year, the company has received more than 50 qualified submissions from utilities, developers, and nuclear-technology manufacturers spanning over 20 states. Meta has shortlisted several projects with the aim of developing between 1 and 4 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity. These projects are intended to accelerate development where execution is feasible and timelines are clear. Through both the Constellation agreement and its ongoing RFP process, Meta is positioning nuclear energy as a key component of its long-term energy strategy. This approach forms part of the company's "Tripling Nuclear Pledge," through which it aims to amplify the market for nuclear power in the United States.
