  2. Windows 10 Settings App Won't Open

    None of these steps work. Without the settings app, creating a new profile is impossible. Also, the steps say to open the store, that app is also unavailable. I am unable to open settings, the store, and also unable to install updates. My computer
    constantly tells me that updates are required but the app crashes each and every time.

    Thank you for the detailed response. To change the search result's view from content to list, we suggest following the steps below:

    • Open the File Explorer and try to search for files.
    • In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
      to change the view.
    • Once changed, close the File Explorer.
    • Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

    After performing the steps above, reply back to us so we can provide additional help.
