Settings crashing on notifications page

Hello so recently some programs stopped giving notifications and when I open the settings for notifications the program freezes and crashes. I believe this happened after a system restore cause I havent dont any updates. I did try to do an repair install upgrade but that also didn't fix the issue.

I ran this which fixed it once, but the settings app still kept crashing.

Code:

Get-AppxPackage | % { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml" -verbose }

Code:

Welcome to tenforums.

You could try
How to Reset Settings App in Windows 10
- from the huge searchable Tutorials section - do have a look- invaluable.

I can't easily tell which command it is you quote.. this tutorial lists many to reinstall or re-register apps:
Reinstall and Re-register Apps in Windows 10



Before doing that it would have been a very good idea to try this diagnostic check:
- create a new user account for test purposes
- check if Settings crashes in the same way when logged in to that account.
Please do that to confirm which is true.

If Settings doesn't then crash, the problem lies with the account you were using, and is not a problem likely to be fixed by a general Windows repair.

You could then try
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *immersivecontrolpanel*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"
from the above tutorial

- which- and I'll tell you which it is- is to re-register Settings for the current account (under Option 2).

The issues are and were already present on the built in administrator account and also on a other user. Settings app has been reset a few times and also have re registered the action center.
The above command I've also tried and returns the following error

Code:

❯❯ PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *immersivecontrolpanel*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

And thank you for replying.



1. I did not ask about other existing accounts- I asked about one you newly create now

Why? To see if this is something that can be fixed by a general Windows repair or not.

So- still pending.

2. Ensure you follow the instructions in the tutorial exactly.
See the instructions at the head of the section- don't guess.

3.

a. Have you tried
- using an appropriate System Restore point?
- restoring your system from a disk image created before this happened? (The routine and regular use of disk imaging is endlessly recommended here- if you're not using it, why not?)

b. What happened around that time?

c. Have you done routine checks on your disk and file system?
(Crystal Diskinfo, free; chkdsk c: /scan from an admin command prompt)
- if not, please do so and report if passed or failed.

1. Yes even newly created accounts are affected.
2. Yes I have followed the instructions.

I have ran three SFC scans and Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, disk and memory scan. Restore points didn't fix the issues because I did update repairs.
I don't have a system image.
Further more I don't know what caused it since I haven't messed with any settings, it just broke?
Attached the SFC logs.
