How to Fix Windows Settings app keeps crashing

Here we leave you a complete guide so you can learn How to solve the Windows Settings application crash problem.

This post provides you with solutions that can help troubleshoot issues where the Settings app in Windows 11/10 either flashes and disappears, opens then immediately closes or crashes. This might happen every time you open it, or simply after making a change to its setting.

Setting app keeps crashing on Windows 11

To fix crashes of the Setting app in Windows 11 and 10, we will be doing the following:

Run System File Checker and Repair

Open a.BAT file

Re-register Settings app using PowerShell

Enable the System Restore utility

Let's dive into their detail now.

1. Run System Image Repair and run System File Checker

The System Files corrupted or damaged may become the root of this cause. We will use SFC and DISM commands to troubleshoot the cause.

While you can do it from the Command Prompt, you can also repair the System Image using DISM and run System File Checker with a click by downloading and using our portable freeware FixWin. You will find the links on the Welcome page.

2.Run a batch file

You can also fix the Setting automatically crashes problem in Windows 10 using a.BAT file.

Launch Notepad from the Start menu and copy-paste the following in it.

This will kill the process running without opening any further applications or any file. null from the %localappdata%Packages directory<NOBREAK> /q timeout /t 2 Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost cw5n1h2txyewyTempState begin-explorer nul @echo on

Before saving, make sure to name this file as "ClearTileCache.bat" and save as file type "All Files (*,*)".

Run the Batch file by double-clicking on it and see if the problem is still there.

3. Re-Enroll the Settings App Using PowerShell

To resolve the issue, we have to re-register the Settings App since the problem could also be due to glitched settings. We will use PowerShell for that.

In the Run command, type "Powershell" and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open Powershell as an administrator.

Hit the Enter key after typing each of the following commands.

Invoke-AppXPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml" -AllUsers Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name windows.immersivecontrolpanel using the verb "verbose"

Just run the code, and it will fix the problem for you automatically.

4. Open System Restore

Perform a System Restore and hope it resolves the issue, assuming that is when your Windows 10 Settings application recently started crashing. Restoring your machine to some previous state when the Settings app was working will resolve the problems.

To do so, open Start Menu, then search for "Restore Point", and click Open.

When System Restore is to be carried out, the process lies under the System menu, selecting a restore point, and finally clicking on Finish.

Check if that resolves the problem of Windows Settings crashing automatically.

We certainly hope that with this, you will be able to solve the problem of the fall of the Windows Settings application in a totally simple way.
