Hello All
I had the same problem as described, i.e. Settings doesn't open (after upgrading from Win 7 Home Premium x64). Can't open Edge, Cortana or any other Windows 10 Apps ( Explorer.exe - Element Not Found error upon clicking).
I downloaded the fix package you pointed to (diagcab file), BUT even that doesn't open. It is unresponsive when I open it, just like how the Settings app is unresponsive.
Please help me understand how to solve it now that the package is not runnable. What does that mean? What is the root cause of this. I have the same problem by directly upgrading, OR by burning a Win 10 DVD and installing from scratch. Initially it worked fine (after new install), but after I installed some apps like Adobe Pro and Winamp, it started. So, I restored by computer back to an earlier point in time when the Settings app was working. However, even after the restore, the Settings and other apps did not open. I moved to a local admin user with the password, rather than the Microsoft account and still no change.
Now, I can't even add a user as it doesn't open. If I click on Add a New User in PC Settings, it gives a Explorer.exe - Element Not Found error !!
Does this help troubleshooting the issue? Thanks for the help.

That's brill, it sorted the problem! Many thanks for that. Robin.
I am a windows 10 upgrade from 8.1
This post is for anyone who has tried the usual fixes without success.
My settings process would open, but the user interface would not show itself.
The process showed in the taskbar, and in task manager, but no GUI.
This fix from Microsoft did not find any issue.
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...-4275-8C95-1BE17BF70B21/CSSEmerg67758.diagcab
I also walked through this stuff:
https://www.xtremerain.com/fix-emerging-issue-67758/
I also ran these commands a few times, from admin prompt:
sfs /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
scannow found errors it couldn't fix.
I ran this one again:
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
Then this:
sfs /scannow
Eventually, scannow fixed everything it found, with no failures. Not the first time through though, definitely took a few tries.
But still the settings GUI would not popup, and I could not access windows update.
Eventually, I booted into safe mode, and the login page appeared. Funny, I had never seen the windows 10 login page. I only have one user account, so I had defeated the login awhile ago through the user accounts window accessed by running netplwiz, untick the box, etc.
But this time, entering safe mode, I was stalled on the login page. Hmm. I also had closed my microsoft account awhile ago, what was that password again?
My old password got me in, I looked around, and settings GUI worked just fine in safe mode. Hmm.
I rebooted in normal startup, and again, stalled on the login screen. Hmm. Entered the password and I was in. And voila, the settings GUI was back!
I went through the login bypass procedure again, run netplwiz through the "run" box, etc.
And I rebooted to check, it bypassed the login screen, went straight to my desktop and the settings GUI worked!
I have no idea what happened, but suspect that my user account was somehow "dislocated". Maybe just using the password again fixed it.

I have multiple issues right now - my wifi dissappeared & then I discovered I couldn't open settings. I have done everything (short of resetting my computer) & got my wifi back mysteriously but I still can't access settings. I tried to access this download & it appears to have moved. Any new links?
when i click this link it says "file not found"
Dear Faniko, would you mind to please put a link to a download this .diagcab from dropbox or similar
I`m going crazy with this...and I can`t find a way to reach that file (server seems to be down and I cannot find it anywhere else). Many thanks.

Microsoft keep moving it around.
Try their "suite" which includes everything:
