Hi,

I have the same issue and did what you said and it still crashes each time. Its getting really annoying this weird bug and I don't want to do a factory reset to see if that fixes it.

Answer 2

Hi Lawrence.

I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

I understand that when you select "Network & Internet" in Settings, it crashes and does not show any information.

Feel free to correct me if I misunderstood.

Reset the Settings app:

1. Open Start, right-click on the Settings icon, and select "More > App Settings";
2. Under "Reset", select "Reset";
3. At the confirmation screen, select "Reset".

See if the issue is resolved.

If it persists, use the system file checker to repair possible corrupted or missing system files.

1. Open Start and type cmd, right-click on "Command Prompt", and select "Run as administrator".
2. Run the following commands at the Command Prompt one at a time:

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

sfc /scannow

3. Restart the PC.

If it persists, re-register the Settings app:

1. Press "Windows + X" and select "Windows PowerShell (Admin)";
2. Type or paste the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppXPackage -Name Windows.Immersivecontrolpanel | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

3. Restart the PC.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions.
