For Windows 10 Home 14905 users that experience the Settings app crashing. Copy/Replace LockdownUtil.dll to C:\Windows\System32. This was an issue in 14901 and may still be an issue in 14905.

LockdownUtil.dll from my Windows 10 Pro x64 14905. I will delete when 14905 is superseded.

I replaced the file with the one from your OneDrive, and the settings app is still crashing....

Windows 10 Home x64 on Build 14901.

So I need to connect a bluetooth keyboard to my computer. The settings app is crashing on me when I try to click on the bluetooth settings option. What should I do?

The file on my Onedrive is from build 14905 which may or may not make a difference. There may also be a new issue that I am not aware of at this time.

Okay...just FYI...I did try to download the Build 14901 version of the file when you offered it on your onedrive. The settings app still crashed even then...should I try to do a fresh install of 14901 and see if the issue goes away?

Sounds like to me this may a separate issue. In 14901 the file was simply missing in Window 10 Home. I am not sure what to recommend to you. Did the Settings app issue occur in 14393? At least MS is now aware of this issue and a fix is probably forthcoming. I know that does not help you right now.

Ok. Thanks for the suggestion. The settings app is so crucial that I really can't use Windows without. I will continue to test out the Insider Builds, but until the settings app is fixed on the Home edition of the Insider Builds, I will keep away from it for now.

Still on the lookout for Build 14905...

Morning all, I'm new. Just signed up to thank tracit99for the fix he kindly posted for the Settings issue.

Works fine here with my evaluation copy. Build 14905.rs_prerelease.160811-1739

Cheers!

No problems so far on 2 different desktops.........
