    Win11: Settings app crashes whenever I click "View Features" button inside "Optional Features"


    For background, I am on a Surface Pro X Windows 11, and I would like to install the "Wireless Display" optional feature in order to use it as a second monitor.I go Settings > search "optional features" > click "view features". However as soon as I try to type in the search bar, the Settings app crashes every time.Things that I have already tried and have not worked:1. Restarting Windows Explorer through Task manager.2. Run SFC and DISM.3. My Windows 11 is up to date.4. Reset Settings app via PowershellI have also tried doing an In-place Upgrade, however a few seconds after it begins up

    :)

    Win11: Settings app crashes whenever I click "View Features" button inside "Optional Features"

    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
