    Setting Does Not Open


    Hello!I'm having an issue with my settings for months now and no one is able to help me fix it. I want to access my setting to change a few things on my computer or add another user, but whenever I click on Setting, the window does not open whatsoever. I tried going through Personalize Setting like changing my background and I get an error message I have attached a picture. PLEASE HELP ME! I need to access my settings!I'm also having an issue with Excel : it wouldn't open either. I get an error; something about Safe Mode I also attached a picture. I need that fixed so badly as well! My

    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

    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.
