Just as the title says, my settings app will not open no matter how long i wait or what i do. The 'app settings' won't work either. I ran the windows virus program and nothing was wrong and the rest of my laptop is functioning fine, so how do i fix this?

    IT worked for me, they need better QA's, stuff like this kills production

    Get-AppxPackage *windows.immersivecontrolpanel* | Reset-AppxPackage

    ** Note - I did not have to reboot!
