Question

Hello! I Just installed Windows again because of some issues, and Settings app is not working! I tried opening throught start menu it didn't work, i even tried to run it from Run as command "ms-settings:" and "ms-settings" but it just says "period expired." Please tell me how to fix this, unless i cant do basic things!

Answer 1

As a test, if you create a new account on the PC, does Settings open and work properly while signed in to the new account?

Answer 2

No, that won't work i tried that someone recommended me it in some of my previous questions, and it did not work

Answer 3

No, it shouldn't say initialized.

If you like, you could try fixing this by doing a repair install of Windows 10 below without losing anything.
