Windows 10 settings do not open

Use the Settings shortcut in the Start menu

The Start menu did not make it into Windows 8 and 8.1, but after massive user dissatisfaction, Microsoft returned it to Windows 10, although not quite in the form in which we are used to seeing it. It is logical that the Start menu provides one of the most quick ways   open the settings menu in Windows 10.

So, open the "Start" and look at the lower left part of the menu - there you will see a gear icon that allows you to go to the "Options".

Use Search / Cortana

This method is not as fast as the first, but still deserves to be mentioned. Enter the word “parameters” in the “Search the Internet and Windows” field, and as soon as the system displays the search results, press Enter or click on the corresponding result.

Use Quick Actions

Windows 10 includes a new panel called the "Notification Center", the purpose of which is to notify the user about events occurring on his computer. In addition, this function has a number of buttons for performing quick actions.

Open the notification panel by clicking on the icon on the far right in the system tray. At the bottom of the panel, click the "All Settings" button. As a result, the Settings application opens.

Lock the "Options" on the taskbar

If you often use the settings menu, just put its shortcut on the taskbar. To do this, open the "Start" menu, find the "Settings" shortcut and right-click on it (or hold until the context menu appears, if you have a touch device). From the menu, select "Advanced" → "Pin to the taskbar."


How to open the options menu while in the “This computer” window

In the “This computer” window, in the place where the button was previously placed to open the classic control panel, in current versions   Windows 10 has the “Open Settings” button, by clicking which you will find yourself on home page   menu for managing system parameters.

Opening the options menu through the context menu of the Start button

A link to open the options in the context menu of the Start button is available starting with Windows 10 version 1703. To open this menu, right-click on the Start button or press the + X hot keys.

Today we will consider a problem such as a broken menu item "Parameters" in Windows 10. Many users encountered this problem after upgrading to 10s. The parameters did not open even after pressing Win + I and even from the Notification Center. Therefore, we will consider a solution to this problem here. This error is called Emerging Issue 67758.

So, to solve this problem, first of all, we need to use the official Microsoft assistant to solve this problem. By popular demand, they nevertheless created this program. To download the program you need to go to this address: //aka.ms/diag_settings   . Ignore the name of the site, it really is official page. Next, you need to click on the appropriate button for the utility to load. After that, run the program, click next and follow the instructions of the utility. Do not forget to restart your computer after completion.

If the Options started, be sure to check for updates, since Microsoft released a special update KB3081424, which subsequently, in the presence of this problem, corrects it.

There are also two more solutions to this problem. You can use them if the program from Microsoft did not recognize the error, and says that everything is fine. The first solution is you need to reset the settings and restore the operating system files. To do this, run command line   on behalf of the administrator: right-click on the Start menu and select “Command line (administrator)”.

In the window that opens, confirm. Now in the command line menu we drive (you can copy) this command:

Dism / Online / Cleanup-Image / RestoreHealth

After that, press Enter and at the end restart the computer.
  The problem should disappear.

If this did not help you, then you should create a new user through the command line and check if there is a similar error there. If there is no error, it means that the problem is with your account or user. You have to transfer all files and data to a new user.

In extreme cases, if you are at a dead end, you will have to use special boot options and, or roll back the system to previous version operating system, either roll back to the previous build, or restore the system using a restore point. Special boot options start like this: in the login menu at the bottom you need to press the power button, then press the Shift button on the keyboard and do not release, and simultaneously click “Restart”. After that, you will be taken to a special menu in blue, where you can choose one of the above.

That's all. Thanks for reading the article. I hope she was useful to you.


  We don’t know if you noticed or not, but Microsoft quickly decided to abandon the “Control Panel” and we tried to introduce into the full use by users an application called “Settings”, which at the moment can only boast that it is the main place for Windows OS settings 10. It’s clear that they’ve implemented something of this kind, but forgot about one of the existing methods, which leads to some discomfort ordinary user. Today we will tell you about what and how to do to avoid discomfort and get only pleasure from working with Windows 10.

Method number 1.

In this method, we will use the "Settings" shortcut, which is located in the "Start" menu.

You need to open the Start menu \u003e\u003e\u003e in the left, lower part of the Start menu we find the shortcut leading directly to the Settings application:


Method number 2.

In this method, we will use and search for it.
  Using this search option, you need to understand that, it is very slow, but in any case there is a place to be and be used.

In the field “Search on the Internet and in Windows” enter the word “Parameters” \u003e\u003e\u003e wait until Windows 10 scans everything and after the application you need is found, click on it with the mouse cursor or select it and press the Enter button " on keyboard:

Method number 3.

In this method, we will use the option "Quick Actions", which is tied in the new operating system   to the "Notifications" function. For those who don’t know, the “Notifications” function allows the user to always know what is happening in his OS and use “quick buttons” if necessary.

Go to the "Notifications" panel \u003e\u003e\u003e select the appropriate button in the tray. To do this, select “All parameters” and you will see how the “Parameters” window appears in front of you:

Method number 4.

In this method, we will use the "Options" function on your taskbar.
If you are used to using the “settings menu” quite often, then you need to move its shortcut to the “Taskbar”. Everything is quite simple here: open the Start menu \u003e\u003e\u003e we find among the shortcuts, a shortcut with the name “Options” \u003e\u003e\u003e click on the selected shortcut RMB or “hold” this shortcut (if you have a touch monitor / screen) until it appears "Context menu" \u003e\u003e\u003e select "Pin to taskbar":


Method number 5.

Here’s the whole last way that tells how to open options in windows 10   using.

Press the key combination Win + i \u003e\u003e\u003e we see the open "Parameters" window.
  Perhaps the last method of the above is the fastest and most effective, but there is something in it that is not in the other methods that are described above and probably can give you additional information   for thought.

It has been quite a while since Microsoft released its new product called Windows 10. Most have long been, others have, on the contrary, refused to do so.

Why did I remember this? In general, today, things have turned out so that some users who are being updated on a new axis begin to face another bug, which may not be the most significant, but still a bug. The point, the problem is, when you try to run the "All Settings" icon in Windows 10, from the notification center, it simply does not open. The same applies to hot keys, the combination of which is responsible for launching the menu " All parameters».

As it turned out, Microsoft already owns information about the situation, and even gave the name to this problem “ Emerging Issue 67758". It was pleasantly surprising that Microsoft not only knew about the malfunction, but even released a full-fledged working fix utility that will help the user to fix the problem with inoperative parameters in Windows 10, fully automatically.

If you look on the other hand, we can say that the process will take place in a semi-automatic mode, since you still need to, by running the utility, click the "Next" button several times, but everything else, namely the error correction, will be done in you program.

As if everything is simple and clear, and there is nothing to explain, but still, according to tradition, I will show a clear example of fixing the Emerging Issue 67758 error, due to which the "All Settings" menu does not open, so if you have any questions, were able to do everything in order, following my instructions.

Restore the working state of the item "All settings" in Windows 10

As you already understood, to fix a problem with the parameters, we just need to click on the left mouse button several times.

Of course, first of all we download the utility we need, you can do this by clicking here.

Now we go to the folder in which the utility was saved and run it in the usual way with the mouse.

At the first stage, we just need to click on the “ Further". For those who still decide to fix everything on their own, using the manual mode, you can click on " Additionally", And uncheck" Automatically apply fixes", But to ordinary and inexperienced users, I would recommend not to do this, but leave everything as it is.


In the second step, a small message from Microsoft will appear, where it will be written that it new problem   on the elimination of which the company's specialists are already working. Also, in order not to wait for the official completion of work on the problem, you can simply use this utility to fix the Emerging Issue 67758 error with non-working Windows 10 settings.



On this, any manual actions end, as the further process is fully automatic. Unless at the end of the check you can see if an error was found and receive a report on its elimination.


Lastly, I recommend that you go to the update center and completely update your system, or install at least a package KB3081424issued in order to prevent the occurrence of an error in the future. Even for those with whom, I recommend turning them on and installing the recommended service pack.

Attention   : This update does not fix the error, but only prevents its further appearance, so be sure to use the utility from Microsoft to fix it.

Options do not work in Windows 10, alternative solutions

If “All Settings” does not work in Windows 10, of course, I recommend using the utility provided by the developer, which I just told you about. But, just recently I came across another option for solving our problem, which I found on the Internet.

This option is to use a command that will help restore windows files 10.

  • Run CMD as administrator;
  • We write a command: Dism / Online / Cleanup-Image / RestoreHealth;
  • We are waiting for the completion of verification and recovery;
  • Check the result;

I want to immediately notice that this method   I have not been personally verified, and therefore all the actions you perform at your own peril and risk. Once again, this method is an alternative, so if you really have a malfunction with the "All Settings" menu in Windows 10, I highly recommend using a proven utility from Microsoft.

Well, I will finish. If you stumble upon such a problem do not rush immediately again or. Ten is a new OS, and you can’t do without errors, but Microsoft is trying every day to improve it and fix all the flaws so that you get and use a fully high-quality and complete product. I am sure that even now, when you read this article, programmers are working tirelessly to improve the new operating system.
