    Problem regarding security and maintenance settings


    I can't disable some security and maintenance settings (the windows update, microsoft account, spyware and unwanted software protection, windows activation, device software, startup apps and homegroup [I thought Windows 10 had removed homegroup] ones since it won't let me click on them.

    Hello Joseph,

    Try to Search Action Center in Start Search Box and then Security and Maintenance Open.

    Look for Change Security and Maintenance Settings on Left Hand Side

    After Selecting option Mark Check and Uncheck for Security and Maintenance and Click Ok

    Problem regarding security and maintenance settings

    Im having a problem with my settings app on windows 10

    Hi Paul,

    Sorry for the late reply.

    It is a performance issue on your windows 10 computer, I suggest you to refer to the following steps:


    • Click "Search" and type "Troubleshooting" without quotes and hit enter.

    • Click “System and security”

    • Select "System maintenance"

    • Click next to run the troubleshooter.



      Also, Install all the available patches from Windows update and get back to us if you see the same behavior.

      Regards,
