Settings app crashes accessing "Focus Assist" settings

Question

Hi,

I'm experiencing the following issue on a system I just fully reinstalled (i.e. including a reformat of the HDD; I'm now running build 17134.228).

Every time I try to access the "Focus Assist" settings in the Settings app, it just dies.

Any clue?

Answer 1

That indeed was the problem. Thanks. It is working now. But has anyone figured out how to get Avast to turn it back when once it turns it off?

We don't really know if Avast is the problem, but so far no one has complained who doesn't have it. That being said, in the Avast settings (open it, go to Menu , Settings, Components, scroll down the page until Performance, Do Not Disturb Mode, then Customize) there is a setting called "Silence notifications from 3rd-party apps". By default it's on, I turned it off. Maybe it helps.

Now you have someone reporting who doesn't use Avast.

I'm on AVG, latest updates to all pc packages.

Focus Assist running almost 24/7?

When open notifications pane, nothing is there?

Answer 2

Indeed, your solution also solved my problem, now Skype is receiving calls again.

Answer 3

I also have this problem (and system is up to date)

Answer 4

Same here...

Answer 5

Now the problem is back.

I wonder if the 2018-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 x64-based Systems (KB4464218), which was installed a couple of days ago, did something to cause the problem to reappear.
