One of the biggest problems with Windows 10 is the dual nature of Settings vs. Control Panel which has made simple things like this that aren't directly on the new interface yet much harder to find.
To get My Computer back on the desktop:
- Right-click on Desktop and select Personalize
- Click Theme on the left
- Scroll down past pretty much everything to "Related
Settings"
- Click the "Desktop icon settings" text
- Tick "Computer"
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoThe dual Settings and Control Panel interfaces is such a stupid problem. Microsoft should not have introduced Settings until it was ready to move over all first party functionality. Having one control panel with outdated visuals is much better than having two separate control panels (one of which still has outdated visuals).
- Nition 7y agoIt's not even split like "normal settings" vs. "power user", which would at least make a small amount of sense. e.g. Mouse pointer speed isn't in the new Settings yet.
