DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth5. Starting up in safe mode, settings still unable to open6. Running Microsoft Store App Troubleshooter.

    I completed these steps. This message came up at the end: Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

    The settings app keeps crashing, though.

    Windows 10 Settings App Won't Open

    None of these steps work. Without the settings app, creating a new profile is impossible. Also, the steps say to open the store, that app is also unavailable. I am unable to open settings, the store, and also unable to install updates. My computer
    constantly tells me that updates are required but the app crashes each and every time.
