Silly Question(s) re: Control Panel & Settings
I have Control.exe (Control Panel) pinned to the taskbar, mainly because I often want to get to Network & Sharing, Administrative Tools, Programs & Features,&c. without going through slow-loading pages of Modern Settings first. Cut out the middleman as it were.
If I need to keep open a Modern Settings page, like Windows Update (because it is not on Control Panel any longer) the Control.exe button pinned to the taskbar only opens the Modern Settings page I have open, and I have to go elsewhere to open an instance of Control Panel. Fortunately, I know many alternative ways of doing this!
When a Modern Settings page is sitting in the background idle for some length of time, it often seems to become totally unresponsive, except for the red close button - thanks be to Redmond.
Finally, just occasionally I wonder why isn't there a button in Control Panel that opens the Modern Settings page?
