    Windows 10 Settings Refuses to open


    Hello everyone,


    This has been occuring for a few months now and I am getting sick of it.


    My settings app refuses to open as when I try it will flash the settings screen and automatically close it. I have tried using command prompt, win + I, going into the app settings which also refuses to open and using admin to open. None of which worked and I can't manually update my computer to 2004 from 1909. I have included my update history and am seeking help. Please respond with helpful answers and possible solutions that don't require me to wipe my hard drive for the 2nd time.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

  3. settings refuses to open

    Does it crash when opening from the Start (cog icon) and when searching for "Settings app" in Cortana?

    Can you check if the Settings actually closes;

    1. Click on Settings even though it will disappear.

    2. Right click bottom of screen (taskbar) and select Task Manager. It should open in the Processes tab.

    3. See if Settings is displayed in the list of processes.

    The common solution provided in the forum is creating a new user account. The steps are here ->

    Settings doesn’t launch, or launches the Store instead

    Windows 10 download speed issues

    Try this method:
    • First of all from Start Menu, open Settings (Type settings in the search bar and it will appear).
    • locate and select “Update and Security“.
    • in this window, Locate “Advanced Options”. Click on it.
    • In Advanced Options; Click on “Choose How Updates are Delivered“.
    • Turn off Updates from more than one place.
    Your system will not work as a seeder for other Windows 10 users. It will give sudden boast to your Slow internet speed.
