Windows 10: Windows 10 Settings app crashing

If Windows 10 Settings flashes and disappears, or keeps closing or crashing as soon as you open it, then this post offers solutions that will help you fix the problem.

Windows 10 Settings keeps crashing


These are the things we are going to do to fix Setting app crashes in Windows 10:

1. Repair System Image & Run SFC
2. Run a .BAT file
3. Reregister Settings App using PowerShell
4. Run System Restore.

Let us talk about them in detail.

1] Repair System Image & Run SFC




The problem can be because of corrupt System Files. To fix it, we are going to use SFC and DISM commands.

While you can use the Command Prompt, you can also download and use our portable freeware FixWin to repair the System Image using DISM, and Run System File Checker with a click. You will see the links on it Welcome page itself.

2] Run a .BAT file




Another thing you can do to fix the Setting automatically crashing in Windows 10 error is to run a .BAT file.

Launch Notepad from the Start Menu and paste the following code.

@Echo off
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
taskkill /f /im shellexperiencehost.exe
timeout /t 3 /NOBREAK > nul
del %localappdata%\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\TempState\* /q
timeout /t 2 /NOBREAK > nul
start explorer
@Echo on

Save this file and set the File name to “ClearTileCache.bat” and Save as type to “All Files (*,*)”.

Double click on the Batch file to run it and check if the issue persists.

3] Reregister Settings App using PowerShell


The problem can be because of some setting twitch, therefore, we need to reregister Settings App to fix the issue. To do that, we are going to use PowerShell.

Launch PowerShell as an administrator by Win + R, type “Powershell”, hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter.

Type the following commands and hit Enter.

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name windows.immersivecontrolpanel | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

Let the code and run and fix the issue for you.

4] Run System Restore




If the Settings app on your Windows 10 computer started crashing recently, try running System Restore to fix the issue. It will revert your computer to the configuration when the Setting app was working fine.

To do that, type “Restore Point” in the Start Menu Search Bar and click Open.

Click System Restore, select a Restore Point, and click Finish to perform System Restore.

Now, check if it fixes the Settings automatically crashing in Windows 10 error.

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

 

Installing Windows 10 on Lumia 920

I have a Lumia 920 mobile phone.
Found a list on the net with compatible phones that support Win 10. Mine is on that list.
Can't upgrade with the usual way.
Found help on this official website of developers for Windows Phones. It's a step by step no brainer thing. Most people are doing it. Except me. I can't get past point 6. http://forum.xda-developers.com/windows-10/general/howto-install-windows-10-phones-t3030105

"6.Connect to the same WiFi that your PC is on. Edit the settings for the WiFi connection to turn on the Proxy and set it to use the PC’s IP address and enter 8877 for the port "

7. Open Internet Explorer on your phone and navigate to http://[pc.ip.add.ress]:8877 where [pc.ip.add.ress] is the IP address of the PC running the WPInsidersHacks app
No idea what this means.I guess i need to access the router and modify some settings in there. Some guy on the forum told me " think he means to use the local IP address of the pc. Go to cmd and type ipconfig and look for ipv4 address. Should be somethin like 192/......"

I did connect my phone as always via wi-fi to my router. But i have no ideea how to use that proxy or how to make my phone have the same Ip as computer. I did start WPInsiderHacks app on pc. This is what it looks like




Theres also this official http://forums.windowscentral.com/nokia-lumia-920/341531-windows-10-preview-nokia-lumia-920-a.html
It says this :
1. Download the Windows Insider app.
Press ... > about > make sure Sys free space is 300MB or more.
If there isn't enough space, make full reset with Windows Phone Recovery Tool.

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn:7777

Download and install certificate.
3. Edit WiFi connection, enable Proxy

Code:
upwp10.chinacloudapp.cn
7777

4. Open Insider app, click get builds
5. You will get Enroll page, do not Enroll yet!
6. Switch to WIFI settings, turn off proxy.
7. Switch to Windows Insider app and now you can enroll for Windows 10 Technical Preview.
Choose Fast option.
8. Check Settings > Phone update.
If it can't find updates, you may need to reboot your phone and enroll again (without a proxy now).

Same thing with the proxy. Anyways the more detailed steps on the DEV forum are much better i think .Cuz they put out more info on how to do it.

Can anybody help me with step 6 ?

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
