Windows 10 Settings Menu not showing

Greetings! I too have taken the plunge and upgraded two of my systems (my personal laptop and my work desktop) to Windows 10 and working on a third (HP Stream 8 tablet). I am having an issue on my laptop where the Settings menu does not load. I wanted to go in and change some of the personalization settings and tinker with a few others but when I did, the window flashed for a brief second and then gave me and error that reads as follows:

"ms-settings:notifications - This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."

Again this is just to open the Settings menu. I did not receive the same message on my work computer. Mind you, the laptop is from 2010 and came with Windows 7 and I've been able to successfully upgrade each time, including today (albeit very slowly).

I had the same issue upgrading from Windows 8.1. Did you ever get a resolution to this issue?
