I can't access my settings or restart my device

When I open my Mac book this pops up and when I hit OK nothing happens and it won't let me open settings so I tried restarting my Mac book but it tells me to quit my system setting, but when I do that nothing happens. How can I fix this?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5
