Adding Settings items to the Context Menu on Desktop



Microsoft has moved most of the Control Panel features over to adding the Settings interface in Windows 10, and at some point, the classic Control Panel might be removed altogether.
Settings panel contains different categories.

System, Devices, Phone, Network & Internet, Personalization, Apps, Accounts, Time & language, Gaming, Ease of Access, Cortana, Privacy, Update & security.

Windows 10 includes the ms-settings shortcut protocol, which enables you to access the Settings items easily without the need to enter the Settings page to access a specific item.

We will use the ms-settings shortcuts: which we explained in a previous article.

"Accessing the Settings items in Windows 10 through ms-settings shortcuts."
