  1. "Settings" window keeps spontaneously closing. Help!


    Short version: I have a Win10 tablet. Whenever I try to open the "Settings" window, it spontaneously closes a second later.


    More detail: I purchased a Windows 10 tablet two years ago that has always worked just fine. Recently from my primary account, I created a "Visitors" account for others to use. But for some reason, I can't make any adjustments b/c every time I open Settings the "cog" icon, the window spontaneously closes a second later.


    I've done a virus check using Defender and found no problems. My Primary account does not have this issue, only the "Visitor" account.


    "Cortana" keeps spontaneously popping up and it's driving me crazy. But I can't do anything about it b/c the Settings window keeps closing.


    Help!

    :)

    Programs Spontaneously Closing

    Hi.

    So for a while now, programs currently running on my computer have been spontaneously closing, usually when the computer is under stress when running games. I am not the one closing the programs and no viruses have been found on my computer. I have tried
    booting into Safe Mode to stop it. May someone inform me why this is happening? Thanks.
