Yeah, Also, did you check if your Windows account has full admin rights? Sometimes upgrades mess with that.

Agreed. You could also run the built-in privacy troubleshooter by going to Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.

+1 Yeah, that troubleshooter is a good start. If it doesn't work, try checking your group policy settings, as an update can sometimes reset those.

You could also run the Windows Privacy Dashboard and re-lock everything down from there. Another option is to manually re-disable each setting and restart to see if the error clears. Good luck!

Yeah, that error code usually points to a permission hiccup—have you tried running the Settings app as an admin to see if that lets you back in?

Can confirm. I had the same problem after the last feature update. It felt like starting from scratch with all those privacy toggles. Good luck!

+1 You could also try resetting the Windows Store cache, since that sometimes fixes those permission errors.

Same here. This happened to me. After the update, I had to go through and manually turn everything off again, which was a real pain.
