Windows 10: Bluetooth Settings Wont Open

Everytime I try to open my bluetooth settings the gear icon flashes for a second and then disappears, this has been happening for the past couple of months. I have tried everything. First the bluetooth service was disabled and not running, fixed that. Went through many tutorials, still no luck. And there was another post on this website, and that did not help too. I'm not willing to use a restore point too. PLEASE HELP.

Windows 10 Post-Creator Update: Settings will not open & Bluetooth will not work

COMPATIBILITY: My PC is expressly listed on the link you provided as compatible: XPS 13 9350. I listed the make and model in my first post, so it's disheartening to see you suggest it's compatibility, and provide a link that expressly says it isn't.

BLUETOOTH: The bluetooth is not the issue, as all devices worked previously. Further, I doubt bluetooth is why MS Word wont load.

I've looked for the answer in the forums, I have timely taken all advice you have offered.

This is a technical issue, likely based on the Creator Patch, and I would really really appreciate some help or an escalation.

If you cannot provide me with additional help, please provided me with the appropriate next step or contact info.
