[SOLVED] Gnome settings not opening. (Fresh Install)

Gnome settings app isn't opening from the fresh install. I'm a newbie to arch and gnome itself. Please help me out.
Basically right top corner settings button next to lock and power buttons doesn't do anything.
Right click and any option i press, nothing happens.

checked "journalctl --since "2 min ago"

I've installed Bumblebee and started it. Optirum glxgears works. Installed xf86-video-intel as well.

uname -a
Linux myhostname 4.11.3-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun May 28 10:40:17 CEST 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Also I've added this to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Section "Device"
    Identifier "Intel Graphics"
    Driver "intel"
    Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
Endsection

Sorry for spamming the forum.
I found the solution.
gnome-control-center was not installed during Arch Installation.

pacman -S gnome-control-center

solved it
