Windows 10: Windows 10 settings and some administration tools dont work

I have a Dell Inspirion laptop N7110 type=x64- based pc with windows 10 home version 10.0.19043 Build 19043. I am not very knowledgeable about computers but am able to follow directions. I have been trying to understand and fix my problem for weeks and dont think I am going to find a solution without help. I am unable to use my settings for windows at all. It opens but I cant do anything in it. I am able to use event viewer but not administrator tools like component management etc. I have ran sfc and it sayswindows resource protection didnt find any integrety violations. All update and security options , the run box, dont work. I have the administrator account as well as the owner account. Feel this may be where the problem is but dont know. Also windows has been updateing alot and requiring several restarts to get my computer to even boot up correctly. Or windows and desktop dont load until after several restarts. I appreciate any advice you can offer me as I'm just not able to figure this out on my own. I thank you for your time and will give any further information you may need.I recently was able to get McAfee off my computer as my subscription expired and it was causing alot of errors on my system. I downloaded and used their McAfee consumer products removal tool. Ran it twice as alot of fails reported the first time.

Windows 10 Snipping Tool on Windows 7

All it is is one extra step beyond what is native to windows 10. Yes, technically it would be easier to have the functionality of print built in to the Windows 7 version, but you just have to save it ,and right click on it ,and print.

As far as getting the windows 10 version into windows7. I know there was a way to get the old winpaint, so maybe there's a way to get the snipping tool into 10, I don't know.

im curious if i could compress, and upload the application to this post? 7zip doesnt seem to be allowed

 

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
