I have a Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.18363 on a Lenovo Ideapad 720s
Since a few weeks, all my "ms-settings:" URI doesn't work:
From contextual menu: display, personnalisation-background, etc.
From driver updates on Device Manager link's "search windows update"
From any "ms-settings:" start command in explorer, cmd, powershell , etc.
BUT, contrary to many similar cases found on the internet, I have access to the settings from the start menu.
It seems that the generic URI/variable linking "ms-settings" to windows 10 settings menu are missing somewhere giving me some error message like "this file does not have a program associated..." or
"explorer.exe - application not found" (but explorer.exe is working).
I really tried many things before posting here: WSReset, SFC, DSIM, Get-AppXPackage, uninstall last Windows update and install it back etc.
I've done a virus scan, a malware scan, settings restore.
I created a new account, gave it administrative rights and had no issue on this new account.
I can copy my files to this new account and delete my original admin account but I really want to understand what's going on and where is this "ms-settings:" variable stored in Windows 10 Pro.
If someone can share some details on how and where is stored the "ms-settings:" URI link in windows, it will be appreciated.
