How to fix an ms-configs issue / Windows 10 Pro settings window?

Solved

Hello,

I just migrated from my old Windows 7 to Windows 10 Pro using software...

Since then, I can no longer access the settings windows... for example:

- right-click on the desktop > Personalize
Error message:
ms-settings:personalization-background
This file does not have an application associated with it for performing this action. Install an application or, if it is already installed, create an association on the Default Apps Settings page.


- right-click on the desktop > Display settings
Error message:
ms-settings:display
This file does not have an application associated with it for performing this action. Install an application or, if it is already installed, create an association on the Default Apps Settings page.


- right-click on "This PC" > Properties
The window with the settings logo opens and closes immediately

I have already tried methods 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 from the following link:

https://www.wintips.org/fix-ms-settings-display-this-file-does-not-have-a-program-associated-with-it-windows-10/

Method 4, which involves creating a new user, fixed the problem... or rather, the problem does not appear on the new user created. But I would like to keep my current user if possible.

In any case, I deduce that this is a user-specific issue... maybe a file association issue? But I have no idea which one....

Configuration: Windows 10 Pro / Chrome 96.0.4664.45

Hello.
Try restoring file associations with RSTassociation.

If that doesn’t work, perform a repair of Windows 10 without data loss (everything is kept).
Download this Microsoft tool, open the tool and follow the instructions below:

Your association software does not take ms-config URLs/URIs into account.
As for the installation without losing Windows 10, option 1 that allows you not to lose programs is grayed out.

You installed Windows 10 with what, you're talking about a software, Windows 10 is installed via a bootable USB key containing Windows 10 or through an upgrade using MediaCreationTools.

I installed Windows 10 Pro normally, then I migrated my applications from my old Windows 7 to Windows 10 using Zinstall Migration Kit Pro.

This software is used to migrate a system from one PC to another; it is not intended to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on the same PC.

Zinstall Migration Kit Pro is used to migrate a system between two PCs; it was necessary to go through Media Creation Tools to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 on the same PC.

Well, I've resigned myself to creating a new Windows profile and transferring everything over. Everything is working now.
No other solutions proposed on the internet worked.
