I applied the November update and now my Wife's account works just fine.
I tried using two different accounts and created a new one and had the same problem (launch the Control Panel, it briefly opens, the icons paint, then it shuts down). I can do directly to submenus like Devices and Printers or Programs and Features, but as soon as I click on Control Panel Home, the CP shuts down. I also tried the Powershell command above with no luck. I have all the latest updates.
