After a recent update I was forced to do my start menu and settings app stopped working and it gave me errors that the system files for them are broken and let me already stop you from trying SFC's and DISM's because thats not gonna help you and dont even try mounting a windows iso or downloading through windows update.
What fixed the issue for me is to hold down SHIFT and press RESTART on the power menu in the login screen, after resetting to the safe menu just click on removing the latest quality update and you're done!
Why can't a multi-billion dollar company do anything right 😒
