We’re updating Settings. It should be ready to use again shortly.

I have tried everything above mentioned, but nothing works for me. Please help me on any other suggestions. I can't event revert latest windows updates.

Just shows up when I try to open settings

i recommended follow the steps from this website; https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3175-reinstall-re-register-apps-windows-10-a.html

Re-install and re-register specific app through cmd.
follow this steps:

1. Open a command prompt. don't forget to open it as administrator
2. Copy and paste this command
   PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *immersivecontrolpanel*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"
   and press Enter. The settings Windows app will reset. When finished, you can close the command prompt if you like. Try open the settings app. Done
   Works just fine for me.

So, I am running into this issue as well. I am on Windows 11 on the latest preview. This happened after I last updated this computer. It seems it is only on my main user account. As I created another test account to check. I have tried everything in this forum, and nothing has prevailed. I even attempted to use my other account to downgrade a version. Nothing. Is the only other option to completely reinstall Windows?

I appreciate any help. Thank you in advance.
