Try re open it close it then reopen it... if your issue not solve backup all important like seeds private key and wallet folder here C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Electrum\wallets or backup all electrum files C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Electrum.
after that uninstall the electrum then install it again.... after post ir here if you solve the problem or not..

Reinstalling will not fix your problem; you can get more details (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1211122.0) at the Electrum board but you are going to have to upgrade your wallet to latest 2.5.1 version. You can find directions here (http://docs.electrum.org/en/latest/faq.html#how-to-upgrade-electrum). Make sure to write down your wallet seed before you upgrade!

Yes, you can restore from the seed on the new version.

2.5.1 should just install over your old version fine. Accidents happen so you need to have your seed written down before upgrading. As long as you have the 12 word seed you can recreate your wallet at will.
