    Can't get to settings on windows 10 with a Browser open


    Hi,
    I have Windows 10 Ver.1809 Build 17763.557.
    My problem is that when i open a browser Ex. EDGE or IEXPLORER, a can´t open Windows settings and if try right click on desktop and open from there i get error telling me that ms-settings:display has no associated aplication.
    But if i close the browser, everything goes back to normal again.
    How to solve this problem ?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Can`t set a default browser in Windows 10

    Hello, I`ve been having an issue with setting my default internet browser in Windows 10 for about a month now.

    When Windows starts, it asks me to select a default browser, I select Google Chrome from the list and it goes away.

    Nothing happens and under default programs there is still no default browser listed.

    Then, when I open my browser I am prompted by Chrome to make it my default.

    The same Windows prompt appears again and I select Chrome from the list.

    However, even after these steps every time I click on a link, I am asked to select a default browser.

    Is there anyway to fix this issue?

    Can't get to settings on windows 10 with a Browser open

    Unable to set default browser

    • Does this issue happens while you try to set other browser as default too or is it specific to specific browser?

    Any browser.

    Already did the steps you suggested. It's some kind of bug where it's impossible to set a default browser at all.

    I heard elsewhere from one other user     that it seems to be a problem with upgrading to 10 on the SP3. Sounds very specifc.
