Windows 10: What Are Radeon Settings And Why Are 6 Opening Every Time I Start My Computer?

What are Radeon Settings, and why do 6 open every time I start my computer? I never chose to install it, so I am assuming it was part of the last update I got, because they appeared right after that update. They show up in my hidden icon tray, and there are 6 of them. If I try to open them they do not open so I can't close them. They are also slowing down my computer a lot with most things I am trying to do.


They also seem to be blocking other programs from opening. As an example, if I do not open Steam as soon as my desktop loads it generally does not open. I never had this problem before these Radeon Settings appeared. I end up having to restart my computer, and opening Steam as soon as my desktop loads just to be able to open it.

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
