Fix Settings App Crashes In Windows 11

Windows 11 is the most exciting OS launch to date, but it has its issues like any build or version before. Some users complained about the Microsoft community site that the settings app closes automatically in the Windows 11 system. Microsoft has acknowledged it and is a known problem that affects devices with multiple user accounts that have gone through the Windows 11 build 22000.51 upgrades. We now have a solution that is given below to fix the settings app crashes in Windows 11. 

Settings App Crash In Windows 11

You can now use the following steps to resolve the settings app crash windows 11 in build 22000.51:

• You have first to click the start button and then type Powershell. Then click to open the windows PowerShell app from the results. 
• Now, you have to copy & paste the following command and then you can execute it by pressing Enter: Get-appxpackage microsoft.ui.xaml.cbs |? {($_.version -ne "2.62106.1002.0")} | remove-appxpackage
• Add-appxpackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode -ForceApplicationShutdown C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml
• Get-appxpackage microsoft.ui.xaml.cbs |? {($_.version -ne "2.62106.1002.0")} | remove-appxpackage
• Add-appxpackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode -ForceApplicationShutdown C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml
• Next, you need to try and see if the settings app opens. If not, then run the command once again and see if the application starts typically. 
• If the application still crashes, then reboot your PC and try again. 

The issue here is that the settings app is not launching or crashes on the multiple user accounts before installing the build. Microsoft had a blog post stating that they are aware of the issue, and the resolution is underway in a future preview build. However, they also gave a workaround for this issue that you can perform after installing the preview build. Follow the instructions above to resolve the Settings app crashes in Windows 11.

Another Issue with the Settings Application 

We are not sure yet if they are alike, but other users also commented that the settings app is prolonged. It seems like any of the clicks on any menu from the settings application needs you a bit of crunching from the system before it kicks into gear. Other users mentioned that they encountered the same problem, but we do not have yet to find the root of this issue or a solution for that matter. If you experience lag or delay in settings, you should try the above answer and see if that improves the situation.
