Windows 10: Windows Network Panel crashes

Since fairly recently possibly since the January 12 cumulative update when I click on the network icon in the system tray the panel pops up with the ... throbber at the top and then after a second or two crashes


Event Viewer shows an application error:


Faulting application name: ShellExperienceHost.exe, version: 10.0.19041.610, time stamp: 0x5d4af3f4

Faulting package-relative application ID: App


But I haven't really found anything relevant when searching for stuff. I'm pretty sure it's nothing to do with the hardware as it still connects to my network and I can retrieve the connection/network information on the command-line with netsh wlan


I've tried updating the driver and rolling back to the last one, I have installed all OS updates and all hardware drivers/firmware that windows update suggested. I'm at a bit of a loss on what I can do to resolve this


As a workaround I have installed an app that allows me to switch WiFi networks etc, but this is less convenient than the inbuilt widget.


Any idea how I can fix this?

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?

ive watch my temps and both the cpu and gpu are within normal ranges. when it freezes it simply freezes the image and stops the sound. i must reboot to get back to windows.
