I’m using a fresh install of Plasma with EndeavourOS and after a few hours System Settings stops loading. I see the icon bouncing for a bit but it simply won’t work unless I reboot the system. Anyway I can fix this?
Most probably someone knows a fix.
What you could do is to open a terminal and launch System Settings with the following command and see if the output will give some clues:
systemsettings
If I type that into terminal, nothing happens. It just goes down a line as if I never typed anything at all.
Open a terminal and run:
journalctl -f
have it open and running.
Now try launching System Settings. Will you get any output in the terminal?
Try to delete systemsettingsrc into your ~/.config directory. Then start again.

is this reversible?

I think the last two lines were in reaction to me copy pasting

This doesn’t exist in my /.config directory
it seems to me that there is quite a bit of a mess.
Delete the content in
~/.cache/systemsettings
then start again
If necessary, you can also delete the entire contents of the ~/.cache folder.
Reboot
Don’t worry, when Plasma is restarted it reloads itself again

Deleting the cache didn’t seem to do anything.
When logging out, and logging back in, system settings works again for a period of time.
Sorry, I’m out. Wait until someone else reads over it who might have other solutions
