How to Use Ms-Settings Commands in Windows 10?

The Settings app replaces the classic Control Panel in Windows 10. It consists of many pages. Almost every Settings page has its own Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). This allows you to open any Settings page directly with a special command. Here is the list of these ms-settings commands.

How to launch the desired page of the Settings app directly:

  • STEP 1: At first, press Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.
  • STEP 2: Then type or copy-paste the desired command from the list below into the Run box and press OK.
