Crash settings window privacy and security

Hi,
after a new installation of Windows 11 22H2, when I go to settings, privacy and security and Contacts, I activate or deactivate the tab Access to contacts, the window closes and I find myself on the desk.

Surprisingly, no errors appear in the event viewer !

one DSIM and SFC /scannow does not solve the problem.

Do you have the same thing ? It happens every time I turn the tab on or off.

If you are having problems with Windows 11 settings app, you can follow the steps in this video to repair it.

thanks for the video.
I don't understand why this problem appears after a new reinstallation of Windows ?
Does anyone else have this window closing problem or is it because of the 22h2 version ?
Microsoft Windows is not what it used to be. Many unresolved bugs. Disappointing...

In this video, i will show you how to repair install of Windows 11 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything.

Thank you for your help but fixing the application and repairing Windows 11 did not solve the problem.
When I activate or deactivate the Access to contacts tab, the window closes and I am back on the desktop.
There is no error in the event observer so very strange problem !
Could someone please report this problem to Microsoft ?

You are very welcome, sorry i'm out of ideas for your problem.

Thanks, in that case I will wait for the next 22h3 version this summer.
It's really annoying since Windows 11 to have problems from one version to another and even with new installations.
I hope Microsoft will stop releasing new futile features that usually bring down the house of cards and refocus on the reliability of its system.

You can also try clean installation, see how that goes for you.
