Windows 10: Settings not opening in Windows 10 October Update

Hi,

First of all, Happy New Year everyone.

I run Windows 10 64-bit version 1809 and my Settings only open in one way, namely when I click on the little speech balloon on the bottom right and select "Settings" there.

Clicking on Settings from the Start Menu or even the combination "Win+I" do not work.


Just to be absolutely clear: IMHO it is not Windows (not this version anyway) that is at fault, as I updated from version 1803 yesterday and the fault was already there, I had to re-install version 1803 from scratch and that is when it started.


The upgrade to version 1809 did not change it.


I have tried to (as I read this was a possible solution) install Visual C++ and Net Framework, but that did not help.


BTW I am posting this because all the posts I have read seem to be quite old.

And, please, try to avoid the solution where I have to set up a new account, as I am really dreading this one.


Any help will be very much appreciated.

:)

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

New install Windows 10 (issue solved)

It's good that you're not experiencing any issues. Unfortunately many folks are, a quick Google search will show the same info im offering the OP.

Heres a couple examples:

It's basically what I mentioned above, small issues here and there ,but nothing to end your day.. for the most part.

I know it's anecdotal, but for my experience 95% of the time it's perfectly fine. The issues I've run into wouldn't be enough for me to roll back , but they would be enough (had I not installed it yet) ,to avoid it for another couple weeks which is why I'm suggesting it to the OP
