That sounds like a frustrating problem.

Hi, did you find a solution? I have the same issue since a few days...
All other apps working. Just Edge and Settings don't open. 950.

And the same question that Indistinguishable asked the OP may well apply, if you want help it pays to help the helpers with some information.

Hi, its a 950. I suspect it happened after an automatic update this week. Not sure because I had the update 2 days ago and just now wanted to change a setting. I don't have more info as I can't go into setting to give you the version. I did a soft reset by removing the battery but no change. I now also found out the Storage app doesn't work. It flashes like it want to start it but reverts back to the home screen within a second. Sometimes Edge when clicked goes a bit further but stops and goes back to home screen... I can try to do a hard reset but this is something you would do as a last resort.

do settings open when data is on? Or the opposite, when off?

I don't give up easily to find a solution to those things but as I didn't get access to settings in whatever state I put the phone I finally decided to do a hard reset. Luckily the great Windows mobile backup was there to have everything back in place after approx. 1 hour. All is working again now but this should not happen. Thanks for your replies.
