In privacy settings - all my contacts are locked up, can't switched them ON anymore - any help?

in privacy settings - all my contacts are locked up, can't switched them ON anymore - any help?

That's in Privacy - Contacts - Choose apps that can access contacts.
In the meantime I've also tried builds with Insider Slow, Fast and Preview - all the same.
What's wrong with my settings?
Could I change something in the registry, to repair this??

Privacy settings - Contacts Locked up and no SMS possible anymore

In addition to such locked up contacts I also have no SMS function anymore and can't delete a broken VPN connection entry anymore.

Threads Merged.

User... Do not create multiple threads on your issue. It actually works against you as any advice gets scattered around and a coherent conversation cannot develop as easily...

Have you tried a Factory Reset? Settings > System > About > Reset your phone

You might also need to use the Windows Device Recovery Tool to revert to official if the Factory Reset doesn't work: https://forums.windowscentral.com/e...singleTopic%26topic%3DFA142987&token=rHN6UMr7
