    Can't Access Settings "There's a problem with settings, refreshing your PC might help fix...


    I can't access my updates or screen settings. I'm getting a "This App Can't Open, There's a problem with settings, refreshing you PC might help fix the problem" message. When I attempt to refresh using the "remove applications and leave personal files option" it fails after about 20 minutes of attempting to reset. Anyone have a suggestion for a fix that doesn't involve a factory reset?

    :)

    Settings - There is a problem with Settings. Refreshing your PC might help fix it.

    My computer is fairly new and came with windows 8. Upgraded to windows 10 and ever since my computer has been having weird performance issues. Most importantly my "Settings" does not open. When I click to open setting it says "there is a problem with settings."Suggesting
    that refreshing my computer might help fix it. When I click to refresh, I am scepitcal of the choices, so I have not made any attempt(s).

    Also, on the bottom right hand side of screen states - Activate Windows - Go to settings to activate windows.

    Frustrated with what to do. Please help!

    Yeah unfortunately ASUS and Realtek are not stepping up and fixing this it seems. Wherever I see such problems mentioned on forums some users are suggesting just uninstalling the Realtek driver and using the Windows audio driver.

    Settings - There is a problem with Settings. Refreshing your PC might help fix it.

    Tried the first 2 methods overnight and nothing changed. Still cannot open the Settings. Any other ideas? Should I go back to Windows 8? I was not sure if I should follow the prompt and refresh because it stated that I will save my files but it gave a long
    list of programs that would be deleted. I am not a computer expert so, not sure if I should make a daring attempt like that.
