System Settings missing almost all options

I have a Macbook Pro, apple M2 8BG and mac OS 15.1.1

Suddenly, when choosing the gear icon for System Settings, there is nothing there except for General and Spotlight.

Clicking on General has no other options.

I have already tried shutting off the macbook pro and then holding down the power to get to the options screen to reinstall the OS but it changed nothing.

I would do a factory reset however - since there is NO settings list for me to choose back up - I can not back it up.

Anyone else have this issue or know of solutions?

A SafeBoot Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
