Hi,

I am getting an issue when leaving the settings app open on system, it crashes after around a minute.

This is on a Server 2022 machine (a domain controller) on a vmware host. If I leave another screen in settings open it doesn't crash.

    Hi,
    I found a workarround,
    If you go through Controlpanel, view all icons, and select System. Then the window stays open.
    or simply RightClick at the startbutton and select System

    I had the same problem, but not with a domain controller, just a normal win2022 vmware template. It turned out to be that I had tweaked/hardened the template a bit too much.

    Turns out two services needed to run; Network Connections Broker (NcbService) and Connected Devices Platform Service (CDPSvc). I had disabled NbcService. So CDPSvc would not start. So setting NbcService to manual (or auto) and restarting CDPS, which starts NbcService automatically as it's a dependency, solved it.

    I found that solution here: https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/da0a06a0-05d8-4223-9d4b-973b8d3688a0/systemsettingsexe-crashing-on-multiple-computers
