I have no clue where to even post this i really need help 

i got a new used laptop DELL G3 reinstalled windows. It worked fine for a day opened settings normally. 

I had some problems with ram using 50% did something to fix that in registry editor (changed a 2 in to a 4)

installed a browser and i click on set as default browser and that's when it started. 

 I did every possible thing i found online and youtube 

I did :

-sfc /scannow 

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.

-powerShell comands

 

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name windows.immersivecontrolpanel | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}

and

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *immersivecontrolpanel*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

and 

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

When I face a problem such as yours, I don't do a 'reset' of windows, I do a complete and total fresh install of windows using the Windows Media Creation Tool.  I might suggest you do the same thing here.

 

Good Luck and have a Happy Holiday season.

Few options

1) Do a repair install. Download Window ISO, mount it with Explorer and do a install while keeping all your files intact.

2) Do a fresh install. Best option imo.

3) Hold Shift key, restart your laptop while holding Shift key. It will load into recovery environment, select Troubleshoot and you can do window reset from there if your window image is not corrupted. 

1) Check Window Event Viewer for error message when you open Settings.

2) Scan your PC with AdwCleaner and Malwarebytes.
