Hi Hans,



Did you made any changes to the system prior to the issue?

What exactly are you referring to ''the title appears on the bottom bar but will not open''?



Did you check for any pending updates? If not, follow the below steps to update the Windows.

• 
  Press Windows key+ I to open the
  Settings.
  
• 
  Click on Update & security, then click on
  Windows Update.
  
• 
  Select Check for updates. If Windows Update says that your PC is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.
  

This issue may occur due to corrupt or missing Windows files.

You can also go to the Settings by pressing the windows
key+ R. You may try to open the Settings with this shortcut and see if the options can be seen.



If the above suggestions doesn’t help, you may run the
system maintenance troubleshooter and check if the issue still persist.

Follow the below steps to run the system maintenance troubleshooter.

• 
  Type troubleshooter in the search box on the task bar and then press
  Enter.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting from the list.
  
• 
  Click on view all in the left pan and select
  System maintenance troubleshooter.
