Windows 10: Display Settings open and close Immediately

If I try to open the Display Settings through the Desktop, The Settings App, ... every time it tries to open them but after some loading the window closes.

System Settings Closes Immediately After Opening

Hello! I'm dealing with a frustrating problem - my two monitors are displaying what the other should (left monitor displays right, right monitor displays left), but I can't switch them around in display settings as I have in the past! Right clicking on my
desktop, and then clicking "display settings" or going to "System" under the Windows Settings menu will result in the page opening for a few seconds at most, and then closing. Here is a list of everything I've tried doing the following to fix the issue:

• Updating Windows
• Trying the first solution here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...settings/e3b56e0c-dc5c-45fc-b7f0-a1ab87723032.
  This returns the following message:

Code:

• Multiple system file checks.
• I even got to the point of performing a repair upgrade with an ISO file, but I can't even do that! The Media Creation tool says my Windows 10 Pro N (version 10.0.18363) "PC cannot be upgraded to Windows 10" Update: performed system repair successfully,
  it did not fix the issue.
• Update: Uninstalled display driver, did not work.

It seems like I've come across someone with the same problem here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ont-work/364b7bd2-f5d0-44a7-b675-b955e5035224,
but I hope I've given enough information so that it can be resolved here at least.

(This is what will not open)

 

Stock calculator app opens and closes immediately

WOW, such service.... such a quick reply. First, no need to apologize, it's not something you did. From searching at the community forum I notice what's happening with Calculator happens with other apps - they open then close immediately.

Yes, my inquiry was about the Calculator app, the one that's built into / comes with Windows 10. I updated to Windows 10 ver. 2004 the other day. Prior my updating, Calculator worked. Now it opens and all I get to see is a blue dialog and then it closes
immediately.

so... your suggestion #1 "**Run the troubleshooter" .... did it, here's a screenshot of what came up





... your suggestion #2 "**Reset the Microsoft Store cache" did that and tried Calculator - blue dialog and then it closes immediately

... your suggestion #3 "Press Start then search Apps and Features ... Search Calculator app on the list .... Click then select Advanced options .... Click Terminate then Reset" did that and nothing - tried Calculator - blue dialog
and then it closes immediately.

.... and here's a video of me trying to run Calculator after completing suggestions #1-3

I captured a video of trying to run Calculator. I can't attach it here but I'm uploading it to Firefox Send. Because I don't have an account there this link will only last one day or one download https://send.firefox.com/download/62fb9966137838d4/#2SxodDMEoCw__yMBYAU5lA

btw, I also downloaded another calculator app from the app store (see below).... Same thing, it opens and then closes immediately. I did the same with resetting it like in your suggestion #3.





I'm going to read a book right now so no need to reply until you feel like doing so.

Thank you very much for the quick response and suggestions. I'm sure this will all be resolved eventually.

 

Win-10 Edge closes immediately after opening


My upgrade from Win-7 to Win-10 seemed to go faultlessly, everything including Edge worked correctly. After a couple of hours though, Edge no longer will open properly, The basic blue screen w/logo comes up for 5 seconds or so and immediately closes. Shortly thereafter the Start button also stopped opening, although by right-clicking I could get the basic function list so could still stumble along.
The Start button problem was fixed by going back to my first Restore point (created by an automatic upgrade), but the Edge problem persists in spite of trying various fixes from posts dating back to the beta-test period. Obviously this is a problem that has existed from the early beta issues ... and it ain't fixed yet!! Any suggestions appreciated, because I note that Win-10 depends heavily on Web access via Edge.
