Most of the settings you'll want to change in Windows 10 are in Settings. Settings is organized into the following separate categories:

1. System
2. Devices
3. Network & Internet
4. Personalization
5. Apps
6. Accounts
7. Time & language
8. Gaming
9. Ease of Access
10. Privacy
11. Update & Security

Each with their own page of settings. You can click/tap on a category to view and change more settings for that category.

This will show you how to create a Settings shortcut that you can use anywhere in Windows 10. Let's get started:


1. Right click or press and hold on an empty area on your desktop, and click/tap on New and Shortcut.

2. Copy and paste the location below into the location area, and click/tap on Next.

explorer ms-settings:

3. Type Settings for the name, and click/tap on the Finish button.
NOTE: You could name this shortcut anything you would like though.

4. Right click or press and hold on the new Settings shortcut on your desktop, and click/tap on Properties.

5. Click/tap on the Shortcut tab, then click/tap on the Change Icon button.

6. In the line under "Look for icons in this file", copy and paste the location below and press Enter.

%windir%\System32\shell32.dll

7. Select an icon (which will then be highlighted in blue) , and click/tap on OK.
NOTE: You can use any icon that you would like .

8. Click/tap on OK.

9. You can Pin to Taskbar, Pin to Start, add to All apps, add to Quick Launch, assign a keyboard shortcut to, or move this shortcut to where you like for easy use.

I myself am using this convenient little shortcut on all of my family's desktops and laptops and really like it.

Enjoy
