Can't access "administrative tools" (even as administrator)

[rewrite25]

Hi Guys,

Please can anyone help? When I double click on "administrative tools" absolutely nothing happens not even an error message? I am worried that my machine has been comprimised maybe by a virus? Or has something disabled it in the registry?

Thanks for any suggestions in advance

can you access task manager? Can you access services.msc?

Any luck accessing this in safemode?

Do you have Tweak ui or similar type program on your machine ?
If so check its settings for hiding these items .
