I honestly have no idea where all the Windows settings are anymore so I just search instead. I wonder if this is a way to boost bing usage.

they might be intentionally blocking multiple windows for settings page because of difficulty in synchronizing settings across windows. P.S. Linux user

    For the lazy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Master_Control_Panel_shortcut https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Master_Control_Panel_s... The Windows Master Control Panel shortcut, labeled All Tasks and also called Windows God Mode by bloggers and All Tasks folder by at least one Microsoft developer, is a shortcut to access various control settings in Windows Vista and later operating systems, including Windows 10. By creating a folder with a certain name, users have access to all of the operating system's control panels from within a single folder. The shortcut is implemented by creating a folder with the extension .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}. GodMode was the original folder name used when the feature was publicised, but any name can be used.

    Also for the lazy, since I had never seen it before: IDDQD is the cheat code for 'God Mode' in Doom. I definitely realize that by writing this comment I am both identifying myself as not a gamer and reverse-dating myself. :)

Many of the settings aren't available on the new settings pages. You go to the settings for network, then click additional settings and it opens the old settings menu where you can find what you want. It's terrible. At least they finally put a screen brightness slider on the notification center.
