Windows 10: 'About' tab in settings causes app to freeze and crash

I wanted to check my PC specs, and my settings are completely functional apart from specifically the 'about' tab in the 'system' section. When I click on 'sound' or 'clipboard' it works fine, but when I click on 'about', the settings app freezes and crashes.Don't know if this is related, but my Microsoft Store app is also not working, where I can't download or update anything, and can't even open the Teams or Sticky Notes app.I tried to to run the system file checker but it still crashes, has done this for a while now even after updates.

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.

 

App freezes and crashes on update.

If the app has been updated and is working fine, there's probably nothing wrong with it. However, if the app crashed or froze during the update, there might be some steps you can try to fix the issue:

Restart device: Sometimes, simply restarting the device can resolve app freezing or crashing issues.

Clear App Cache: If the app is caching data, clearing the app cache can help resolve freezing or crashing issues. This can be done by going to the app's settings on your device and selecting the option to clear cache.

Uninstall and reinstall the app: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Make sure you back up any important data before uninstalling the app.

Check for system updates: Check for available system updates for your device. Updating the system may resolve compatibility issues that may be causing the app to freeze or crash.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to contact the application's technical support for further assistance. They may be able to provide more information about the issue and help you resolve the issue.
