Settings Pages List of URI Shortcuts in Windows 10  

@Brink
2 Cortana direct links..., useful or not? You be the judge.

Hi, there:
I have Windows 10 1903 and every time that I want to create a shortcut on the desktop with a ms-settings: (precisely ms-settings:windowsupdate), it became a shortcut to a nonexistent URL ¿any idea?
Best regards

Thank you Brink.
Everything worked fine. Finally, the keyword was "explorer".
Best regards

This is the latest reference below linked at the top of the tutorial.
Launch the Windows Settings app - UWP app developer | Microsoft Docs

The link above has an update date of 4/19/2019, which is kind of dated. Is anyone aware of additional updates to the URIs since that time? I cannot find anything online.

The reason I'm asking is because since several months ago I have been unable to access PC Settings. The main page appears for a moment then disappears totally. This is a well documented problem and I have tried all the usual suspects without any resolution. PC Settings started working again in early February but stopped working again a couple weeks later. I saved the list at the top of this thread in a OneNote item and can get to all the settings by pasting whatever I want in the Run command. But I would like to fix it.

A couple days ago I took the time to copy/paste every one of the URIs in the above list and documented what did and didn't work. Some of them cause the PC Settings screen to open and disappear as when I access it directly. I placed the ones that didn't work into a hide list in Gpedit Settings Page Visibility, but that did not help. What this did tell me is that the URIs that appear to me are dependent on just what the system supports, or what MS believes it supports, which could be the problem since this Intel MB is eight years old. And the problem appears to be Windows version and build related. So there may be some additional URIs not documented in this list that may be hosing my PC Settings.

BTW, there are application errors recorded for each PC Settings error, related to the Immersive Control Panel. But I haven't found any help on that either.

Thanks

Thank you, Brink, for the information. But my question remains unanswered: How can I get to any changes in URI support that came about as a result of Windows updates since April of last year? Perhaps there is no answer available?

. . . If it's not supported, adding the page manually will still not have it show in Settings.

I'm not adding these pages. I am excluding non-functional URIs with the Settings Page Visibility function reached through GPEDIT. I'm doing this because the problem with Settings might be that Windows is attempting to load access to URIs unsupported on my PC when I try to go to Settings. However, excluding the non-functional URIs that I found through the list posted above did not fix the problem; perhaps URIs that I don't know about may be what is hosing Settings. Hence the question above.

Considering all the errors you mention, you might see if doing a repair install of Windows 10 using the method below may fix them for you.

The only error I am experiencing at this time is the Settings error. The method of repairing Windows 10 that you linked me to looks like the best I've seen, as it appears to be minimally disruptive. But I have a heavily loaded and customized Windows system with scores of applications that I use regularly. I had my share of problems after doing an in-place upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, but at this time have gotten rid of all of the problems with the exception of the Settings screen disappearing, and in itself that isn't a big problem since, as I pointed out, I can get to any setting directly through the RUN >> ms-settings: ... function. So yes, I would like to fix Settings but no, I won't repair Windows at this time; but thanks for the info and I will keep this method in mind for future consideration.
