When the success of the procedure, restart your computer - most likely the problem will be solved, and the message that there is no application that is associated with this file longer appear, will not.

By analogy, the same error and other types of files are corrected. In more detail with a large number of methods - in the instructions how to fix the Association of Windows 10 files.

This file is not mapped to a program to perform this action ms-settings: display, ms-settings: personalization-background and other

Unfortunately, in the event that errors report MS-Settings: Display, MS-Settings-Personalization-Background and other MS-settings, to diagnose the problem is more difficult, since the causes can be:

• Simple registry damage, or rather a user branch.
• Damage, loss of files from the folder C: \ Windows \ ImmersiveControlPanel \
• Damage DLL libraries, for example, an error can be called, forcibly removing settingshandlers_display.dll from System32 and this is not the only such library.

If you failed to use the recovery points, I can offer the following ways to correct the problem, none is ideal and in different scenarios of the error appearance "There is no application associated with this file to perform this action" or "This file is not associated with the program for performing this action »The workable may be different from them.

Creating a new user

This method is the easiest and most often triggered if it comes to damage Windows 10 system files. The path looks like this:

1. Run the command prompt on behalf of the administrator. To do this, you can start typing "Command Line" in the search for the taskbar, then right-click on the result in the result and select "Startup from the administrator" in the context menu. If on the background of errors this method does not work, others are described in the instructions how to run the command line on behalf of the administrator.
2. In the command line, enter the following commands in order, instead of username specifying any desired username, but not that is already used, but instead password - password for this user.
3. NET User username password / add
4. NET Localgroup Administrators user_name / Add

   

5. Exit the system and go under a new user. You can exit by opening the Start menu by clicking on the user's avatar and selecting the Output item.
6. After a short configuration of the new user, you will see the desktop. Check if the error appears when opening the same parameters under this account.

If the error does not show itself anymore, you can simply transfer all the data of the old user to a new account from the C: \ Users \ user_name and continue working under the new account.

Reinstalling the "Parameters" application

Windows 10 parameters are the same application as other applications from the store, and we can reinstall it. To do this, run PowerShell on behalf of the administrator (see the launch of Windows PowerShell) and use the command:Get-AppXPackage * ImmersiveControlPanel * | Foreach {Add-AppXPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \ APPXMANIFEST.XML"}

After executing the command, restart the computer, and then check whether the error has been fixed.

Check and restore the integrity of Windows 10 system files

If the previous methods did not help, check the Windows 10 component storage using DISM, and then restore the integrity of system files using SFC / SCANNOW. In detail how to do this in a separate instruction: Check and restore the integrity of Windows 10 system files.

I hope one of the proposed methods will be useful in your situation, and the system will work properly without notifying any errors.
