Windows 10: I cannot open settings app from Action Center Command Prompt Window Flashes

When I click the settings notification Center it suddenly opens a command prompt window and disappears

Same happens when I right click one of the Quick Actions and click Go to settings


But when I use the Settings App directly from the Start Menu it works and I can use it properly...

Why does it stop when I use it from the Action Pane while its ok with Start Menu?


Can somebody help me out??

Unable to launch open Settings and Action Center in Windows 10

Hello Emmanuel,

We're sorry to hear the inconvenience you have experienced.

From your description, I suspect that the issue seems to be temporary. Suggest you to shutdown your PC completely, then restart it after a while and then try to open settings to see if it responds.

If you want to open Control Panel, type Control Panel
into the search bar on the task bar, and select the same from the list when it appears. Alternatively you can open
Settings, through Start Menu or press Windows Key + R,
then type ms-settings: into the run command and hit Enter. You can also type
Control Panel in run command to open the same.

In case problem still persist, then try the below mentioned troubleshooting steps.

Use the DISM tool and System File Checker for repairing any missing or corrupted system files:

• Click Start.
• Type cmd, and then press CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER to open elevated command prompt (I.e. Command prompt with admin rights).
• If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click
  Continue.
• Type or copy paste the below command lines one by one into it and hit Enter:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth


DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth


sfc /scannow

To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter. Reboot your system to see if problem still occurs.

If you are able to open settings, I would suggest you to check if you have enabled
Action Center as well as turn Notification On. To check follow the steps below:

Action Center

1. Click on the Start Menu and click on theSettings icon.

2. Then navigate to System>Notification and Action.

3. ClickTurn system icons on or off option, then slide the
Action Center bar to ON.

Notification.

command prompt will not open in safe mode with command prompt

I am repairing a laptop for a friend and I need to access windows in safe mode and the owner has forgotten the password to the main user. I tried logging on with the administrator profile in safe mode but it is not showing up so I was going to use command prompt in safe mode with command prompt but command prompt will not open when I boot that option. Does anyone have any hints for me to figure this out?
