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 are the details and a workaround for the bug.

Who:  Dev Channel users installing the upgrade to build 22000.51

What:  Settings app will fail to launch on devices that have multiple user accounts prior to the build install

Why:  Known bug causing the issue, fix is underway for a future preview build

To work around this issue after the install, please follow these steps:

  1. Ensure all work is saved on the device.  Close open applications.
  2. Click Start
  3. Type powershell and select/launch the Windows PowerShell application

4. Copy/paste and execute this ENTIRE command:

- *Get-appxpackage microsoft.ui.xaml.cbs |? {($\_.version -ne "2.62106.1002.0")} | remove-appxpackageAdd-appxpackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode -ForceApplicationShutdown C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS\_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xmlGet-appxpackage microsoft.ui.xaml.cbs |? {($\_.version -ne "2.62106.1002.0")} | remove-appxpackageAdd-appxpackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode -ForceApplicationShutdown C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.CBS\_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml*
  1. Once completed, please try to open the Settings app.  If it opens successfully, you're done!
  2. If the issue persists, please paste and re-run the command a second time
  3. After running the script a second time, please open the Settings app again.
  4. If the crash issues persists, please reboot the device and this should complete the process.

That should fix affected devices. We're also working on a fix that will be included in a future preview build to prevent users from needing this workaround.

Please share below if you have any questions about this workaround or if you have any issues when running it.

Thank you!
