    Microsoft introduced a Settings app in Windows 10 to replace the classic Control panel program. With Windows 10, the company wants users to start using the Settings app and due to this reason, they have moved all the settings in Control panel to the Settings app.

    How to Reset Settings app in Windows 10

    Settings app is the core part of the Windows 10 Operating system. And it becomes difficult to access various settings and options available in it when the Settings app fails to open or force close quickly when you open it.

    If you’re using Windows 10, then there’s no doubt that you definitely have gone through this situation. So how to troubleshoot this? Although users can force close unresponsive Settings apps right from the Task Manager. But this is not a solution to fix it, it just closes the Settings app.

    Microsoft also added various troubleshooters in Windows 10 to fix issues related to various components, but not a single troubleshooter fix issues related to the Settings app. The only option users have is to re-install the Settings app via Windows Powershell. Some users might find this method difficult as they have to execute commands.

    Now, what to do? Fortunately, there’s a hidden option available to reset the Settings app. We don’t know why the company never talked about this handy feature so far. Due to this reason, most Windows 10 users are not aware of it.
