    Activity History in settings closes/magically disappears each time I click it in settings


    When I am in settings and try to click activity history, the settings app simply disappears. Any ideas why or how to fix this?I have a sneaking suspicion it may have something to do with the fact that I used CCleaner to delete Edge, however, I still see Edge remnants every now in then in file explorer etc.Also, clicking help topics in the settings and control panel still tries to open edge despite my default browser being firefox.Anyway, just a guess... I truly have no idea why. Never had an app just disappear like this... Thanks in advance for your help!

    :)

    • Go to Settings.

  3. Cortana and settings options disappeared

    Welcome to Ten Forums ChemicalRage Activity History in settings closes/magically disappears each time I click it in settings :)

    .

    Does a new user account fix the problem? We can then identify if it's just the account or the whole computer feature of Cortana.

    Fluctuating Time Zone Setting

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

    I would suggest you to check if the values for “set time automatically” and “set time zone automatically” under Date and Time settings are “ON”. If not, then suggest you to make the vale to “ON” and check for the status.

    If the issue still persists, follow the steps provided below:

    • Press Windows key + R, type services.msc and press Enter.
    • Locate Windows Time from the list and double click on the service.
    • In Genereal tab, set the Startup type to Automatic.
    • Click on Apply and OK.

    Hope the information is helpful. Feel free to write to us for any other assistance with Windows, we’ll be glad to assist you.
