    Settings and other default apps won't start


    Hello,since yesterday, I have the following problems with my Windows 11 PC:Everytime, I try to open the settings app, there's a little loading icon, but nothing happens. I already tried to fix it using different methods, such as resetting the App-Settings, which didn't work out, because I'm not able to open the settings app at all.Some similar problems, I experience with some other default apps like the Microsoft Store, which starts same as usual, but shutting down immediately after opening.I run a system file check via Command Prompt, the first one detected corrupt files and replaced them, th

    Settings and other default apps won't start

    Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

    Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

    I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

    Might be helpful to list what i've done Settings and other default apps won't start :) I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

    I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
