    Settings app crashing when I click "Devices"


    When I go settings > devices it looks like it is about to go into the panel then the whole app crashes. I have had this problem for a while however have not been able to find a fix for it. It has not been an issue for me until I have been trying to access my bluetooth settings, any fixes/work-arounds?

    :)

    Settings app crashes whenever o chose Devices category

    My settings app crashes whenever I go into the devices category. After some oubleshooting I have determined that it is actually on the Bluetooth & other devices category that crashes. It just so happens that that is what opens when I chose devices. If
    I open windows ink workspaces and chose pen and windows ink settings that opens fine, as well as every other setting menu under devices. Only the Bluetooth section crashes the settings app.

    I am up to date.

    Run sfc sca,n chkdsk, DISM repair.

    There are no usb devices attached, and the only Bluetooth device I have is a headset which is currently turned off right now, and the issue still happens. I don't have any printers installed. My thinking is that the computer is seeing some device in that
    list, and something with the driver, or that device is not working right. Problem is I cannot get in to see what it might be, and to remove everything.

    I am on windows 10 home insider preview build 15031.rs2 running on a surface 3.

    Any suggestions?

    all games crash!

    I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
    Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
    What happens?
    If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

    P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
    Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
    What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

    Hello Devin,

    There are several workarounds that we can perform for us to troubleshoot the problem with your
    Cortana on your Android device. In the meantime, we suggest that you follow these steps:

    • On your Android device, open Settings.
    • Go to Application Manager.
    • Select the Cortana app.
    • Tap on Clear Cache.
    • Reset your device.

    Let us know if the these steps resolve the issue.
