What error do you get when it fails if you try to start if from a comand
line? Could you add your journalctl from around the time of the issue?
Would be nice to report it upstream

Title:
gnome-control-center occasionally fails to launch after multiple tries
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Release: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
Package Version: 1:3.28.2-0ubuntu0.18.04.1
Expected Behavior: Program should always launch upon request.
Problematic Behavior: Attempting to launch this program causes the shell to
display the loading indicator for an unusual amount of time, only to never
display the program.
Description: Upon launching this program through a terminal emulator,
it never opens and never displays any output. Passing the verbose (-v)
option with the program has the same result. When I launch it through
the GUI, the shell displays the spinning circle (loading indicator)
for an absurd amount of time. The program still does not open. This is
a fresh install, so I restarted my computer. When launched again, the
program opened and operated normally. However, upon closing the
program and opening it again, it does not open up. Task management
tools only show the process for a brief 3-5 seconds after requesting
it to open and then it disappears. To my knowledge, this bug does not
affect any other programs.
Workaround:
Entering the command
killall gnome-control-center
allows it to open again upon next launches.
