How To Open Specific Settings Pages In Windows 10 With Ms Settings Commands

Here is how you can access a specific Settings page directly using URIs in the Run command. In Windows 10, Microsoft is adding a significant number of changes and finally moving away from the Control Panel in favor of the new Settings app, which is a more consistent feature that houses a lot of the classic settings and works in the same way across devices and even with phones.

Below you’ll find a list compiled by WinAero that anyone can use in Windows 10 using the Run command (Windows Key + R).

For example, you can type “Data Usage” in the search box and the Settings app will open right inside Network & Internet / Data usage, which is far easier.
