Try doing a soft reset, pull the battery and put it back. If that does not work you may need to do a hard reset.

I have the same problem except not settings, the Windows Store. So I can't download any apps! Oh well, the fun of being on a Technical Preview! . I'll try soft resetting.

It happened to me as well, fixed it by running windows store and got an updates for most of the settings apps....

Try installing a new language pack or keyboard. This is because the way a language pack is installed is similar to how an update is installed - it involves migrating your apps from a system partition. Sometimes (like with the last update), the migration process forgets to migrate everything over and apps crash and don't work. Go to settings > language > keyboard and add one in that requires a download. Then go to phone update and install it (called additional language support). Just let it install and leave the phone plugged in for 1-2 hours. If you have Glance enabled, the glance screen should be showing before you start using it.
