Cant access settings

Hi, I have the same issue. This is what I do:

Run Task Manager (Ctl + Shift + Esc), search for the process called Windows Explorer, right click on it and select Restart.





Once the Taskbar reappears Settings will then work as normal.

 

To be honest, this is something that would require a LOT more information to solve.
is this the Only issue you are facing or are there multiple issues?

let me know

 

Create a new user account and see if it works there.

 

@Harpert
How much more information would you like and ill find out?
The other 2 issues he has encountered was his DVD drive wasn't being recognised or any USB drive either.
@ventanasguy
Ill see if he can add another user account to try

 

I have the same problem - you cant add a new account because that is in 'settings' and 'settings' is not accessible!

 

Found this while searching and it worked for my dad he can now access the settings *Smile

Settings doesnt launch, or launches the Store instead - Microsoft Community

 

Hi,

Happy to see that it's solved.
Sorry I could not assist earlier *Smile

Have a good weekend....
