Solved My Control Panel Shows Nothing - How To Fix

I go to my Control Panel and want to fix something and when I do, none of those tools are visible let alone accessible - the entire page area is blank. I want to go in and fix my thumbnail preview as no images are visible on those folder icons. Windows 8.1 (64 bit) is what I use and it's very frustrating - any insight would be appreciated.....

Run sfc /scannow from an elevated command prompt also see here:
Control Panel or System Restore window blank in Windows

thanks I tried that and it scanned successfully (took a while) but the final result was that no problems were encountered and scanned successfully. I rebooted and went to Control Panel and it is still the same. Can you suggest anything else? WAIT! addendum: I just went back a second time and clicked CP; ALL IS VISIBLE and seems that worked....why the delayed reaction? BUT, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your welcome.
It needed time to reconfigure itself.
