    Settings close immediately and start menu 'critical error'


    Hello it's me Reggie. I was trying to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my Nintendo 3DS when all of a sudden I tried to use the start menu on my Windows 10 and got a message saying "Critical Error. Your Start menu isn't working. We'll try to fix it the next time you sign in." On the same day my settings also suddenly broke, just showing the loading screen for 5 seconds and immediately closing when I try to open it.

    I think they probably have the same cause since they happened on the same day but I ran it through Malwarebytes and it didn't detect anything so I don't think its a virus. I also tried using SFC /scannow in powershell and nothing happened. How fix?

    You can use these two batch scripts to re-register Start Menu and Setting app.

    Hello it's me Reggie. I'm pretty sure the batch files aren't opening for me, when I double clicked them my mouse became a blue cursor but nothing happened and nothing's fixed. Am I opening it wrong or some shiza?

    I have no problem executing them maybe your antivirus software causing the problem.

    Open Command Prompt as a administrator and execute following commands one at a time.

    Code:
    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *immersivecontrolpanel*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"
    
    PowerShell  Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost ^| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Please execute the commands from Command Prompt. Open the Command Prompt by typing cmd.exe into Start Menu, right-click on Cmd.exe, and open it as an administrator.
