Change PC Settings link is broken after update to windows 8.1

I had this problem too, your suggestion helped me.

Thanks.

Struggled with Store, Settings, Skydrive etc not working.

Got the Store working and some other apps too using dowloaded troubleshooters from Microsoft, but PC Settings was a no go as well as Skydrive and Photos.

I made a new user using admin tools in control panel and PC Settings was working for this user so I knew it could work and after much more digging around I found this thread here:

It had all of the steps I used to get the Store working again and those that had failed on the pc settings, and then this:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml

Right click the start button and open a command prompt and then paste the above and hit enter.

PC settings working without even needing to reboot, hope this helps someone, paste it forward into other threads you all have no doubt looked at w/o finding this solution.

this works instantly! just do as he says, cut and paste the command and wa la!

You are awesome!!!  I have tried everything all google searches and nothing could open up my settings.  After pasting that path into

the command prompt admin,  it did some magic and I can now get to it!!! yay

for the app store to work do I went to the link you provided and just wanted to re-copy/paste it here for others

type or paste the following command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

hit Enter.

After trying all other fixes that I have seen here, this worked. You have to re-register the store.  It is now downloading new copies of the apps that didn't work.  I am awaiting to see if the PC settings app fixes it self, otherwise it will be the only one that isn't cooperating. 

Best of luck!!

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml

God send.
