Windows 10: Can't access "Network & Internet" settings

When I try to open the "Network & Internet" section of Settings, the app crashes. I *can* open it when in Safe Mode. I'm using Win 10 2004.
Here's the Event Viewer error record of what happens:


Error when trying to open Network & Internet Settings:

Any help would be appreciated. I've tried sfc, dism, making a new user account, and re-registering all apps. No joy.
