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

I have the same issue as of the last update, it didn't do it before the last 1803 cumulative security update.

Answer 2

Same issue here for awhile. Of course I have tried sfc and the rest. It's always ok after reboot but after awhile it will show a new message on the task bar but the window is always empty, and new items after that won't appear either. Trying to go to focus assist settings crashes settings window. 

Event viewer shows 2 items:

Answer 3

Same here.

Why is Microsoft not chiming in?

Answer 4

Also, my notification center shows "You have x notifications", but when I open it, it shows none (and no Clear notifications either). It's like the entire feature is broken now.

Same here...

Answer 5

Same here.
