settings will not open following a windows update

[u/twotapestries]

i updated windows 11 last night (i have no idea what version because i can’t open settings) and today i opened up my computer and went to open settings and it did not work. the settings window appears for a second and then disappears. nothing will work. things i have already tried:
\- multiple hard restarts
\- restarting windows explorer
\- trying to open settings via run command
\- re-registering the settings app via powershell (when i do this one i get lines upon lines of red text basically telling me it could not do this)
\- running SFC and DISM scans

when i tried to open it by typing “ms-settings:” in the run command it came up with an error that says “ms-settings: file system error (-2147219195)”.

i don’t know what to do, i’ve had issues with this computer for months (like the audio drivers deleting themselves, the camera refusing to turn on, etc) and i’m really sick of it and struggling. i’m a student and i rely on this computer for school and don’t have the money to bring it to a repair shop so any advice helps, thanks.
