Noel, it stops SystemSettings from starting up every 5 minutes after being killed and it doesn't start on startup. SystemSettings still starts up for me on the Creators Update around the 5 minute mark, so I took a deeper inspection in the registry to see what was causing it. The critical 3 keys are the SystemSettings ones under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsRuntime\ActivatableClassId\] and delete the Activatable named entries.

As a Windows user from Version 3.0, Win10 could've been better optimised without the Metro/Modern interface. Anyhow, there is a way to stop SystemSettings.exe from ever starting at startup. I will attach a copy of the modified registry entries for Win10 1703 64-bit. You will need to launch Regedit with TrustedInstaller permissions using PsExec or NSudo.
Save a copy of this registry location...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsRuntime\ActivatableClassId
And compare with the attached tweaked version. This works with a local account, untested with a Microsoft account since I have no need to use one.
Hope this helps.

Why does SystemSettings.exe automatically start 5 minutes after logon?
in Windows 10

Doesn't make any difference I'm afraid, SystemSettings.exe and a few other UWP apps like Microsoft Store still preload even after killing them manually. There must be some way to stop these.
