I was trying to access intl.cpl for region-related settings, specifically changing lockscreen date/time format and language. I noticed that when I click the corresponding item or run the cpl from Run, nothing appears.
Monitoring processes with procexp reveals that the process control and rundll32 responsible for the panel is run, but then rundll32 starts WerFault and all processes quit briefly after, which means they errored out.
EDIT: I could access the panel via Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Language -> Advanced settings -> Apply language settings to the welcome screen..., which takes me to the Administrative card of the panel, but when I click on the Formats panel (needed to change time format), it errors out with "Windows Shell Common Dll has stopped working".
This only happens on the PC I just fresh installed Creator's Update on - the other PC with the former version works fine.
Did another fresh install, and the problem persists.
Ideas?

While I don't know why it is not working for you, I have the latest version of Windows and intl.cpl works as it always did. See this screen recording http://i.imgur.com/GmeT2U9.gifv

explorer, along with other weird symptoms. Since it's a fresh install with no important data, I might as well try starting over again today. – Andy Yan – 2017-05-09T01:24:38.783An easy way to do it would be with the Windows 10 refresh Tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10startfresh

I though that the installation media you have misses somehow something, so doing it with the refresh tool will have Windows downloading all from start and verifying it. – Yisroel Tech – 2017-05-09T02:05:40.717
Hmm, that is a possibility, although I did download my ISO from a MSDN mirror. If reinstalling from ISO still doesn't work, then I definitely need to try your tip. – Andy Yan – 2017-05-09T02:22:53.723
werfault means the app crashes. create crash dumps and share the dumps
