cant open anything in Control Panel\System and Security\System such as advanced setting and remote settings im the admin account and i cant do anything with my laptop i know where the problem is and i fix it by making a reg file with this code Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00


[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\Default]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open]
@=-

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shell\open\command]
@="\"%1\" %*"
"IsolatedCommand"="\"%1\" %*"

but when i use this reg file it will only last about 4 minutes and after that the problem happens again

i cant run games on steam too

They run on background but nothing shows up

I have no problem in safe mode

Given all that, this laptop absolutely needs a full wipe and reinstall of the OS and everything else.
However you "reinstalled"...it did not remove everything.

Control Panel requires permission from an Admin account because...well, that's the way it works.
If you do not have the Admin account and password, you're not meant to mess around in system settings.

So...do you know the Admin password?

Some things in CP require Admin access, some don't.

If you input the correct Admin password, and something does not work...this may need a whole OS reinstall.

Where did this OS install come from?
Is this a new condition, or did it always do this?

Yup, as above full wipe and install. I would also change ALL your passwords to anything that laptop had access to. Web pages, apps, banking info (hope not), and so forth.

My bet would be that you got virus, it popped a fake "admin password" to escalate it's own privileges.

A few entries in there stand out:

-------------------------
iolo technologies
www.iolo.com
iolo technologies - Windows PC Tune-up Software Experts

"PC Tuneup" software rarely works as advertised.
Almost always screws things up more than any 'help'.
-------------------------
Driver Booster
Again, these hurt more than help
-------------------------
IDM
Internet Download Manager?
Why? What benefit do you get from using that?
-------------------------

Again...a full wipe and reinstall.
This time, leave off the above mentioned junkware.

Pretty nasty cold there....It states it can infect drives and network shares. You would not be able to download OS from this computer, and likely (now) not any other computer on your shared network. It also states it can infect USB.

I would suggest going to a known good computer with a new USB stick and download the newest version of Windows 10 from Microsoft and nuking everything in this computers network from orbit.
