Hi guys. Got a new PC today with Windows 11 installed. All seemed fine until I tried to access settings. Settings window opens briefly then closes. I canβt get into settings at all. Otherwise the machine is fine.
Hello Windows Insiders!
We released the first preview build of Windows 11 today to the Dev Channel. We're excited and hope you are as well!
There is currently a known issue that affects devices with multiple user accounts that take this upgrade. Here…
Thanks Rustys, unfortunately I have tried that fix a couple of times without success. I canβt get into updates either to see if there is a download. Will an update install in the background?
Do not know that much about Windows 11 if it is anything like Windows 10 it should since Windows update is automatic. Now when they get it patched out wish I had an answer for that too.
you could try resetting the Windows Store but for me, if you canβt wait, and there is no guarantee any update will resolve it, Iβd be getting the ISO from Windows Media Creation Tool for Win11 and making a bootable USB stick and reloading Win11.
first try the repair option keeping your software and personal files.
but being a new PC, you probably donβt have much or any personal data yet.
I assume you have the PC connected to the internet and Windows has activated.
was the Setting icon ever working, or stopped working after you loaded new software or something?
Thanks Bruce. Iβm not confident about creating an ISO, I was hoping for a quick tweak.
Yes itβs a new PC and I donβt have any data on it yet. The PC is connected to the internet and Windows is activated as far as I know (canβt access properties or settings).
No the Settings icon has never worked. It opens the Settings window which is blank with just the cogwheel icon in the middle then within 2 seconds it closes.
