Settings app Crashes OS Everything Else Works

I just installed, every time i go in settings it crashes everything else works fine. i have reinstalled multiple times and i don't want to chose another os.

My Specs
AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
32.0 GB Ram
Kingston 500GB SSD
MSI RX 5500XT
MSI RX 5500XT

By this, do you mean the OS or the app for Settings?

If you mean the OS, then please try the terminal command:

sudo apt install --reinstall gnome-control-center

Yes, that Settings app is named gnome-control-center as a package.
Can you run the following command in terminal, then immediately log out once it is complete and log back in and test if Settings crashes?

gsettings reset org.gnome.ControlCenter last-panel

Still doesn't work, I don't know what the rules of the fourm are or if you want to I could TeamViewer

sudo apt install gnome-tweaks

Then, open Tweaks from the menu. Click on the Extensions option in the left pane. Then disable all extensions. Launch Settings and see if it crashes.

Can you check the contents of /var/crash for any crash logs?

Post the terminal output of journalctl -b -1 -e or use PasteBin to post it here, please.
