Unfortunately it seems that you can open the Settings only if you have an application that can handle JSON files. In the Windows File Explorer you can right-click on a JSON file (just create an empty file with a .json extension if you don't have one), then click Open with -> Choose another app and check Always use this app to open .json files.

Thanks, linked VS code and works like a charm.
