"Settings Keep Stopping" message pops up when trying to access settings

[Yanish Beejadarsing]

Hello,

I recently encountered an issue with my samsung A8 2018. When i try to access the settings, i get the error message "Settings Keep Stopping". I cannot enter any settings since everything links back to this main setting. When I try go to App Info, it crashes again. Cannot do a factory reset because it is found in settings. Tried access it from search menu too but still crashes. Can someone please assist?

You can factory reset in recovery , turn your phone off , before it restarts hold volume up and power button same time until you get recovery mode then select factory reset

Hello there, my Samsung galaxy tab 4's settings keep crashing, with leaving no error message behind, I open the app, closes after approximately 0.5 seconds, and in that short time I can select things in the settings menu, how can I fix this? Or else I cant access settings no more. Aslo with this update of chrome, my Google Chrome keeps saying I have to make an update, and did.... 3 times! So I can't access the site someone suggested, tried updating from the app store, dint work out. Android please help me...

I cannot access sites, this darn chrome update let me and has privacy errors, while I disabled it.

Here's the text from that link:
