I still cannot get access to the settings, when I try to click in it will just close up by itself
how to download settings?
I have tried multiple times to access settings/windows key to no avail. it says I have to download an app for it but I cant access the Windows Store app either. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there something I can do to fix this on my own?
