SystemSettings.exe crashes with error 0xC000041D

Question

Thursday, February 14, 2019 4:38 AM

Hi,

don't know what's the best location to ask/discuss this. Probably there is none.

If I open the new system settings | Update & Security | Activation, SystemSettings.exe crashes with error 0xC000041D = STATUS_FATAL_USER_CALLBACK_EXCEPTION. The callstack is pretty long, so I've uploaded it as a plain text file to my onedrive:

https://1drv.ms/t/s!AmeoV9EbVmSSgnt282Hbw_4o93ZF

It crashes only if I directly switch from the Windows Update page to the Activation page. The former one is the top most and opened by default. It never crashes if I first switch from Windows Update to e.g. the Windows Defender page, then to Activation.

It's not very important as there's a way to bypass it, but maybe there's anything I could do to pinpoint the cause?

Windows 1709 x64 Pro here (build 10.0.16299.967).

Thanks

(generic procedures like running SFC etc. have already been performed)

Hello,

I suggest you to re-register Settings app:

  1. Open administrative Windows PowerShell.

  2. In PowerShell window, type/paste following cmdlet and press Enter key:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name windows.immersivecontrolpanel | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

3. Let the command complete.

Let us know if this helps!

Hi,

I've re-registered the package successfully, and I also tried to login as a different user (an administrator), but the problem is the same. But thanks anyway.

Hi Yilia,

thanks for the link, I think I saw it before asking here but I wasn't able to pull out something helpful regarding the SystemSettings application. I've already split the question, one part at answers.microsoft.com, and this part I thought better fits here because it's more a mixture of a Windows issue and less a programning thing. Though I'll consider posting at MSDN.

Thanks.
