    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

    Unable to open Settings and Magnifier.

    Hi Hans,



    Did you made any changes to the system prior to the issue?

    What exactly are you referring to ''the title appears on the bottom bar but will not open''?



    Did you check for any pending updates? If not, follow the below steps to update the Windows.


    • Press Windows key+ I to open the
      Settings.

    • Click on Update & security, then click on
      Windows Update.

    • Select Check for updates. If Windows Update says that your PC is up to date, you have all the updates that are currently available.

    This issue may occur due to corrupt or missing Windows files.

    You can also go to the Settings by pressing the windows
    key+ R. You may try to open the Settings with this shortcut and see if the options can be seen.



    If the above suggestions doesn’t help, you may run the
    system maintenance troubleshooter and check if the issue still persist.

    Follow the below steps to run the system maintenance troubleshooter.




    • Type troubleshooter in the search box on the task bar and then press
      Enter.

    • Select Troubleshooting from the list.

    • Click on view all in the left pan and select
      System maintenance troubleshooter.

    • Click next and follow the on-screen instructions.


    Hope you can open the Settings.

    Let us know if you need further assistance, we will be glad to help you.
