    Clicking on "Apps and Features" crashes settings window

    I am experiencing some issues with the settings window.

    Every time I click on Settings>System>Apps and Features the whole window crashes/closes down.

    I tried going to the Add/Remove program option through the search option in the top right as I know this is inside the Apps and Features section but the same thing occurs. Windows performed an update yesterday but I am unsure as to whether this is the cause.
    Any help would be appreciated?

    I have a brand new ASUS N551JQ Running Windows 10 Home.

    Thanks

    The Settings app crashes on clicking 'Optional Features'

    Missing "Apps & Features > Advanced option"

    I recently recovered my windows 10 from the newest update as a lot of my apps are not compatible yet.

    Then I realized that many of the windows built-in apps such as Maps, Photos are not working anymore. (They instantly close/crash)

    I found a solution online:

    1. Open the Start menu and click Settings.
    2. Click Apps & Features.
    3. Locate and click _______ from the Applications list.
    4. Click Advanced option.
    5. Select Reset
    However, I don't have the advanced option displayed when I choose an app (any app, including functional ones)

    Is there a way to fix this? or do I have to "reset this PC"?
