Research direction

Reproduce the failure after the reported delay, then inspect the dms.service logs and the configuration at /home/sder/.config/DankMaterialShell/settings.json. Determine why the Settings view stops opening and verify that it remains accessible after the shell has been running for about 10 minutes.
