Problem with PC settings

I have a Dell Inspiron 3721 laptop. When I go to change PC settings a window pops up with " This app can't open There's a problem with PC settings." How do I fix this?

    Hi Clarence,

    It might be an issue with the software of the computer.  I would suggest you to perform a Refresh on your computer. The Refresh option is primarily a repair method. With the Refresh option, user accounts, data files and some settings are preserved on your PC without the need to create a backup or to make choices about what to keep or remove.

    Here are the steps:

    • Open the General section of PC Settings by the key combination WIN KEY + C to open charms bar and click PC Settings.






    • Click the Get started button under Refresh your PC without affecting your files.






    • Click the Next button at the Refresh your PC step of the wizard.






    • You may be prompted to insert installation or recovery media if there is not a recovery image preconfigured on your PC.






    • Click the Refresh button at the Ready to refresh your PC step.






    • At this point, the PC is restarted, and the refresh actions are completed.



    Please reply if you have any questions.
