settings

best fastest way to get to settings is
right lickc at bottom > taskbar settings > then can search for things (seems a bit slow to open tho), guess that's a w10 performance thing
this new settings

what about old settings, all the old menus ? of things that arent in this 'settings' ?
whats fastest way to get to old settings?

Probably the God Mode folder is the easiest way. It's built into Windows since the XP days, but you have to enable it...

What Is the “God Mode” Folder in Windows 10, and How Do I Enable It?



Winaero Tweaker is very helpful as well.

doesnt look like 'god mode' lets you search so not helpful


with 'search bar' on,
can search 'control' for 'control panel' > then search from there

with 'search bar' off,
there seems to be not easy good ways to get to the old menu? is the case?

right click start
select search
"Control"
right click app icon, select pin to taskbar

with 'search bar' off,

- I presume you mean hidden?

Win key + S, type contr, click result to open Control Panel.

Or use Open Shell menu (free) - a couple of clicks...and you can open a particular applet.

Each applet/icon in Control Panel opens features that have choices that can be made. God Mode merely lists all of them so a person can scroll through and select one of the sub-features as desired, sometimes is quicker if revisiting same ones frequently.

Why not enable desktop under toolbars in the taskbar.

Settings? Winkey + I

For that (control panel) see my post #5
