How to get the friendly name from ms-settings URI in Windows 10
In Windows 10, you can see the Setting items when you open System Settings.
I want to get the friendly name from a specified URI.
For example:
Get "Battery Saver" from the URI "ms-settings:batterysaver-settings"
Get "Diagnostics & feedback" from "ms-settings:privacy-feedback"
Get "Sync your settings" from "ms-settings:sync"
Please view the names and URIs from link below

Forgive the obvious question - why?

I want to do some settings for the Windows Settings, thank you.

Hi there
once its done - you've made your adjustments --these aren't (or shouldn't be) done often at all so OK so why change something not used a lot and probably would keep changing again after updates / new builds.
Cheers

You can create a shortcut:
EX:
- Right click on desktop->New->shortcut
- Enter: ms-settings:privacy-feedback
- Click Next then enter Feedback
- Click Finish
- Right click on the shortcut->Properties->Web Document->Change Icon

No, i need to get the uri's name, thank you.

Ok, write a script - e.g. Autohotkey, that invokes the URI. The dialogue is displayed, then use a screen OCR program to read the name from the dialogue.
Well, you asked.. maybe someone will have a bright idea.

People might be able to suggest more pertinent solutions if you explained what your ultimate objective was.
As it stands, people are just groping about in the dark because we do not know what you are trying to achieve.

Put it this way- if we knew what was to be accomplished- the purpose- there may be some achievable way to do that.
Other than programmatically scanning a list such as that in the relevant tutorial, assuming it matched the GUI, there seems no way to do it. Given that it's something of an odd-ball request, the question seems appropriate.
And did you see post #8 - which effectively poses the same question- which you didn't quote...
