On a Windows server 2016 we recently installed, whenever ANY user goes to Settings -> Accounts, it starts loading and crashes. The event log shows an error every time (see below). All users are local and the system is not in a domain.
We have tried several things to resolve it, but the issue persists. Some things we have tried:
- creating a new user and testing it on there
- system file check (sfc /scannow)
- Windows trouble shooter (as well as the downloadable Windows update troubleshooter)
- reinstalling the Settings app (Get-AppXPackage | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode - Register "$($_.InstallLocation) \AppXManifest.xml"})
