Windows 10: PC Settings only remins open for a few seconds. How can I fix that?

February 9, 2020


Just upgraded my Lenovo Yoga 14 to the latest Windows Update. No when I click on PC Settings the window only remains open for a few seconds and nothing can be accessed. Some settings like Display Setting and Personalize are available from right clicking on the desktop. However, when I click to go the the Home settings page, it closes in a few seconds. Same as above.


I've tried numerous fixes all to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Settings can't be opened using the built-in administrator account


Hello,
Unfortunately I have the same issue as Dabz from upgrading win7 to win10.
I've tried opening settings using all the suggested methods and it will not load using my account with Administrator access nor the built-in Administrator profile. I also tried other methods not listed such as using Run. Control panel is just a stepping stone to add users in Settings.
I'm also having explorer.exe issues, which I believe is preventing Settings from loading.
Using cmd (Admin) I successfully created a new user profile [and granted admin access also using cmd (Admin)], however win10 will not allow this account to log on. win10 does not list this new user within control panel but it does in the start menu. win10 will not allow to log in or switch to the new account via the start menu either.
I can access settings in Safe Mode but this will not allow me to create a new account.
Any help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hello Aaditya,

Please answer the questions below:

• What do you exactly mean by "my setting is not open only open with few second and close"?
• Do you mean that you are unable to open Settings?
• And when you try to open the Settings, if closes by itself in few seconds?
• Do yo use any error message?

Please get back to us with the information.

I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

Method 1:

I would suggest you to Run maintenance task and check if it helps.

The Run maintenance task checks issues that might slow down your computer's performance, such as how many users are currently logged on to the computer and whether multiple programs are running at
the same time.

Follow the below steps:

• Right click on the Start menu.
• Select Control Panel.
• Select Troubleshooting.
• Click on Run maintenance task under
  System and Security.

Method 2:

If issue still persist, you can try Clean Boot and check if it helps.

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
