I only mentioned that to provide an example of the significance of one particular set of results.display driver
Nope. But if I close the blank page and immediately run that command again, it comes right up. It sure seems like something that should be running is not running, and it gets started when I get the blank page, so the second time everything is back to normal.Run:
ms-settings:system
Does it launch to that page directly? Or does even a direct uri load the blank app?

Is your default Settings screen the "Home" page?
Well, I'd "prefer" to get it working right. I think I may try the repair install when I get time and see if that fixes it. If not, I may try this, only having it go to "Home" since that's the default that Settings opens to now.
Well, mixed results. It worked right off coming back from sleep this time, not sure why. I'll have to see if I can characterize the behavior better. Yes, my default is "home", truthfully I didn't know that there was any other option.As an experiment, open the Settings app and leave it alone. Allow your PC to sleep. When you return, is the Settings app (which has been there the whole time) responsive or not?
I suspect the Settings app is trying to initially pull data before opening up, and that process takes too long after waking for sleep. If Settings is already running in background, then it's not doing the initial data collection.
Is your default Settings screen the "Home" page?
Whatever data is on the home page is the defaults. I have no idea if the home page is the issue, it's just where settings opens.yep. its Home. which is one of the worst things they've implemented into that app... ever. I've always hidden it from mine so it opens to System directly. but is there particular data on the Home page that you think is causing the hiccup?
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v SettingsPageVisibility/t REG_SZ /d "hide:home" /f
reg delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\SettingsPageVisibility
reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v SettingsPageVisibility /t REG_SZ /d 'hide:home' /f
Well, I did run it in a command window and it gave me the same error.PowerShell likes to steal double-quotes when running any external (non-builtin) command. CMD does not.
Try this:
Code:reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v SettingsPageVisibility /t REG_SZ /d 'hide:home' /f
PS C:\Windows\System32> reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v SettingsPageVisibility /t REG_SZ /d 'hide:home' /f
The operation completed successfully.
Well, I think it's something on the Home page. With home hidden, the Settings opens in a FLASH on the System tab, so far all the time. Very odd... I never used anything on the home page anyway, so this might be the final solution!I think your Windows is flaky. No, you don't have to reboot. Just close and re-open Settings.
Code:PS C:\Windows\System32> reg add HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer /v SettingsPageVisibility /t REG_SZ /d 'hide:home' /f The operation completed successfully.
Removing the home page was the right call, it seemed pretty useless anyway!
