Windows "settings" not displaying properly. Close on System. Can't use

Check the new user case first..... (quite quick to do)

Yes, no.

A wise PC user always backs up when making any significant change. tenforums constantly recommends the routine use of disk imaging. E.g. Macrium reflect (free)

I suggest the easiest way forward given that failure and the above not helping but confirming your file system and system files are ok is an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps all progs and data.

You have build 1903, so you can get an iso (if you need one) using the
Microsoft Media Creation tool (Google)
Check you have at least 30Gb free on C:
Log in as normal
Rt click the iso, click Mount
(Mount won't be available if you have associated iso's with another program)
Open the new drive letter
Double click setup.exe

Hi dalchina,

This is what I did which has fixed up my issues. All programs remain so happy days

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
