Settings menu won't open unless going thru Sound Settings or Network or Internet Settings

Windows 11 Home 24H2 O. Other problems that showed up at the same time , freezing web pages (have to minimize then restore) problem shows up numerous times, Thunderbird will not download or send msgs unless restart is done. Have run several virus and malware scans using Norton and Malware Bytes. Ran the DIsSM to repair and System file checker several times. Also Restored Windows using Media tool and Windows restore to fix corrupted files. Both tries replaced Windows but still no fixes. Also used Cleaner to ck the registry.
Any help appreciated, thanks

  • Press Windows + R, type "ms-settings:", and hit Enter. This should open the Settings menu directly.

  • If you continue facing these issues after trying the above steps, it may be worth considering backing up your important data and doing a clean installation of Windows 11. While more drastic, this can often resolve complex issues that other troubleshooting steps cannot.
