Windows 10: Control Panel Crashing

My explorer crashes and restarts every time I tried to run the control panel, and the control panel will disappear as a result. Event viewer reveals that the faulty module that causes the crash is ucrtbase.dll. I have tried to repair all the C++ modules available but with no result. I have attached the event viewer log below. Thank you!
