Some Applications (Settings, Windows Store) Crashes

Hi Devlin,

Good day!

Thanks again for your patience and assistance on this issue.

I tried the steps you mentioned to install and access Group Policy on my Windows 10 Home. I got it installed but I wasn't able to find the policy named "Specify settings for optional component installation and component repair" mentioned
in the steps in .NET Framework 3.5 installation errors - Windows Client, specifically Step 2 (Configure the Group Policy as in Method 2).

Thanks!

Regards,
