pavilion x2 hp
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Everything went well on the Win10 installation, but the only problem is that when I go to access the settings tab in the start menu, it just flashes briefly like it tries to open the settings window, and then disappears, so I can't access anything in the settings. No update checking, just nothing. Everything else seems to work... I can also access the system info window and it shows Windows 10 to be activated.

This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are unable to open any settings on HP Pavilion x2 PC. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

 

 

Use the Refresh your PC feature in Windows to return your computer to a known good state without affecting your files.

  1. From the Start screen, type refresh to open the Search charm, and then select Refresh your PC without affecting your files from the search results.

    Figure : Search for refresh

    The Update and recovery window opens.

  2. Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Get started.

    Figure : Update and Recovery

  3. On the Refresh your PC screen, click Next.

       NOTE:

    If prompted to insert media, insert your Windows 8 installation disc or recovery media.

  4. Take note of the apps you will need to reinstall after refreshing the computer, and then click Next.

  5. When ready, click Refresh.

  6. Wait while Windows refreshes your computer. This might take a while, and your computer will restart.

    Figure : Refreshing your computer

  7. When the refresh is complete and the lock screen appears, log in to Windows.

Click here and refer the document for more information.

Let me know if that works.

Cheers.
