How to Reset Settings App in Windows 10 [Tutorial]

If your Windows 10 Settings app is not working properly, then you have one very effective way of resolving this issue. Microsoft allows you to reset the Settings app, but it is not easily accessible. In this tutorial, we will show you how you can reset Settings to its default so that it works properly.

Most of the settings you'll want to change in Windows 10 are in the Settings app. Settings is organized into the separate System, Devices, Phone, Network & Internet, Personalization, Apps, Accounts, Time & language, Gaming, Ease of Access, Search, Privacy, Update & Security, and Mixed Reality (if available) categories. You can click/tap on a category to view and change more settings for that category.

While many people will balk and wish that Microsoft wasn’t slowly burying the trusted Control Panel, the Settings app has grown into a key feature of Windows 10. It’s the launchpad into controlling your system – from adding devices to controlling users and gaming features. If Settings stops working, Windows becomes pretty dysfunctional.

You can’t live without the Settings application if you’re a Windows 10 user. It’s basically the heart and soul of your operating system, as it controls the way your system behaves.

Did you notice that your Settings won’t open in Windows 10? If something is off with your Settings application, there could be a huge underlying issue in your system.

This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops, and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba, Lenovo, and Samsung).
