Appwiz.cpl, ncpa.cpl, desk.cpl and mmsys.cpl. I use all the time.. ever since win 8 changed all the settings ui. That new ui, while getting better since 8 still sucks since the old control panel. I hope they never remove it since windows is still the name of the game for end users (even in some software dev environments).

Here's a list of cpl, you just use them at run or even the windows search. https://www.itechtics.com/control-panel-applets-cpl/

bro I'm so happy that the last windows i set up was 2015... i remember every time the excruciating 1h set aside to click and confirm and authenticate privileged access and pull slider etc... no sensible way to just run it in terminal, at least not that i know of. and nowadays there's this useless right-click menu that hides the real right-click menu and you can only fix this by finding a registry key 😂😂😂

I thought this was intentional? They have control panel stuff somewhat similar to the old style, but build a settings app for the less technical people so they can find common stuff without getting overwhelmed?

As I’ve heard this explained, enterprise admins have scripts, and to a less important extent muscle memory, tied to Control Panel layout and command lines, and that’s not a group you want to irritate.

Hey, at least Windows has really good backwards compatibility.

I've got fed up of them changing how many hoops you go through to get to the old settings so I have the .cpl commands memorized that work no matter what computer you're at

Appwiz.cpl ncpa.cpl for common examples
