Windows 10: Why do not improve security account by blocking/allow some region/country access for account ?

Hello,I have a lot of connection attempts every 1 or 2 minutes from several countries in the world. This appears to be a fraudulent connection attempt, not from me for sure.To improve the security of the account, it seems to be good to be able to select only the right country and disable unwanted countries range of IP address, fix IP adress, or country name, many possibility should be good, where we want to connect only.It's a good idea, I think.Regards,David B

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.

Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

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
