  1. settings not opening


    ill try to open settings but it'll open for half a second before closing, I've tried a few things like SFC /scan and other CMD and PowerShell commands but nothing works. I've made multiple restore points months ago but they wont show up and the most recent one is with in the time it started messing up. I've tried using Regi editor but for some reason I don't have the files that the people on YouTube have. I don't really use setting to much and the last month of no settings hasn't been bad without it but now my mic has changed to something else and now I cant talk in games in the cod micropho

    :)

    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.
