Windows 10: Can't access energy options

Got a new Surface Pro 7 yesterday.

Installed it but for some reason I can't access the energy options anymore.

If I go through the settings app thewindow just closes.

If I do Win + X and chosse energy options I get a error. systemsettings.exe 0xc0000005 unexpected parameters

Parameters?


After executing a chkdsk I do get another error.

0x00007FF9026865E0

Something about read and memory.

Energy Options

Hi,


This issue might occur due to some corruption in the power setting or may be due to any third party applications

I suggest you to try the methods below and check if it helps.


Method 1:Let’s run Power troubleshooter.

The power troubleshooter can automatically detect and fix any incorrect power settings. Refer to these steps to run this troubleshooter:

• 
  Select settings in the drop down menu below search and type
  Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshooting and select the view all option on the left pane.
  
• 
  Click on Power troubleshooter and follow the prompts.
  

If issue persist, I suggest you to try method 2.



Method 2:

I suggest you to try booting the system in Safe Mode and check if it helps.

To start your system in Safe Mode, please refer to the Microsoft Help article below:

Hope this helps. Please respond if you have any further related query.

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.
