Settings window closes when selecting optional updates

glasskuter · Nov 15, 2021

When I go to settings-windows update-advanced options, under additional options it shows out to the side that I have one optional update. However when I either try to click on the arrow to view it OR even click within the additional options pane, the setting window immediately closes. I poked around in event viewer and I think this screenshot is it . Could someone else who is on version 2200.318 please check if it happens to you.

You not the only one having this problem.

System Settings crash when trying to see what Optional Updates there are?

I go into Settings Windows Update, Advanced Option, and I see in Optional Updates that 2 are available. I click on this and Settings collapses. In Event Viewer I see 2 errors seconds apart: First one: Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 11/12/2021...

Thank you @FreeBooter. I was just about to do a non-destructive reinstall to see if it would fix it since SFC is clean.

Hi,
I just checked optional and it didn't close and shows 0 and no optional updates

Think sfc is broken on 11 lol
10 always found errors after updates

Maybe use clear update history
