I CANNOT ACCESS SETTING MENU and MY APPLICATION KEEPS CRASHING

Question

my settings icon keeps showing like this with a gray bar under it. When I click it it pops up a window and IMMEDIATELY closes.

Also, I keep getting crashes on applications. I looked at the event viewer which shows:

And so on. Just a bunch of DLL faultings. I have just completely reinstalled the whole system and even wipe everything out of the system. My pc still gets a blue screen such as series thread exception not handled and mode exception not handled and so on when starting the computer.

Answer 1

hello there

Here are some possible reasons why this is happening:

1. Too many programs are running.

-close other programs when playing.

2. Your GPU/CPU is overheating.

-monitor your device normal temperature and GPU usage.

3. Lack of virtual memory.

-add more RAM

4. The game has possibly have some corrupted files.

-reinstall the game

5. 3rd party anti-virus preventing the program to run properly.

-temporarily disable your anti-virus or switch to Windows Defender.

And see if it helps,

Thank you
