Settings app crashes accessing "Focus Assist" settings

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?

This answer looks rather boilerplate to me...

Why would the system be corrupted (so soon) after being installed?

Rebooting has fixed the problem so far...

I had this same exact problem on my Microsoft Surface Pro 2.

The most recent update for Windows 10 seems to have fixed the problem for me (2018-09 Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB100347)).

Now the problem is back.

I wonder if the 2018-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 x64-based Systems (KB4464218), which was installed a couple of days ago, did something to cause the problem to reappear.

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.

Ditto... My notifications frequently show in the icon, but show as empty when I open the pane.  And focus assist won't turn on and crashes when I try to open it in settings. This has been happening for about two weeks now. The notification problem fixes itself after reboot, but I'm not sure about the focus assist problem. Regardless, it always comes back after a few hours. There clearly seems to be a bug in the most recent update.
