I'm having an issue with Windows 11 settings crashing. I've tried to repair settings and have done an in-place upgrade but still having the same issue. Any ideas?

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

I suggest doing the following:

Reset the Settings app as instructed below:
1. Press "Windows + X" and select "Windows Terminal (Admin)";
2. Type or paste the following command and press Enter:

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

3. Restart the PC.

If it persists, perform a clean boot to see if any third-party program in the background is causing this problem. Follow the instructions carefully.

If the problem does not occur after a clean boot. In this same article, there is a technique to help you identify which program is causing this in "How to determine what is causing the problem after you do a clean boot".

After finding the cause or if it does not help, return to normal boot as instructed in "Reset the computer to start normally after clean boot troubleshooting".

Feel free to ask back any questions.

Hi David

Thank you for all this information. I've now followed all the instructions above and unfortunately Settings still keeps crashing. It had been all ok up until a couple of days ago. Not sure what I need to do now.

Create a new local user with administrator privileges.

Then log out of the current user, log into the new user, and see if the Settings will work correctly.
