Just as the title says, my settings app will not open no matter how long i wait or what i do. The 'app settings' won't work either. I ran the windows virus program and nothing was wrong and the rest of my laptop is functioning fine, so how do i fix this?

Phewwwww, worked for me, thanks!
UPDATE DRIVERS
I had the same problem. For me, Settings, Excel and Chrome would not open. Updated drivers with DriverEasy software and that fixed the issues. Sixteen drivers were out of date. Probably due to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11. Had to download Chrome again. Simple fix!
