    Odd. The download link for the shortcut is working for me. Are you clicking on the blue download button?

    Here it is below though.

    As I said, the shortcut opens my Documents folder.

    %windir%\explorer.exe %localappdata%\Packages\windows.immersivecontrolpanel_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState\Indexed\Settings\en-US\AAA_SystemSettings_MusUpdate_UpdateActionButton.settingcontent-ms

    For future reference, it is also caused by disabled service: Distributed Link Tracking Client.
    Applies to problems opening Settings and other things, so many dependencies in 10. *Think

    Hello Elbmek,

    Since you do not have a US English Windows, you would first need to change the en-US folder for your language like in OPTION TWO. *Smile
