    How to get the friendly name from ms-settings URI in Windows 10


    In Windows 10, you can see the Setting items when you open System Settings.
    I want to get the friendly name from a specified URI.
    For example:
    Get "Battery Saver" from the URI "ms-settings:batterysaver-settings"
    Get "Diagnostics & feedback" from "ms-settingsHow to get the friendly name from ms-settings URI in Windows 10 :privacy-feedback"
    Get "Sync your settings" from "ms-settings:sync"

    Please view the names and URIs from link below

    Settings Pages List of URI Shortcuts in Windows 10


    Is there an MS resource (TechNet?) or command (PowerShell?) to show all URIs?

    The reason I ask is because I've noticed Settings > Gaming in Win 10 1803 Build 17134.285 shows a TruePlay entry in the left-hand navigation pane but the URI isn't shown in the list above.

    As a result my REG file to turn Gaming off in Settings no longer works:

    Code:
    Code:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ; Settings - Gaming entry - Turn OFF  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer] "SettingsPageVisibility"="hide:gaming-gamebar;gaming-gamedvr;gaming-broadcasting;gaming-gamemode;gaming-xboxnetworking"
    Instead I get this remnant:

    I assume I have to add the URI for TruePlay.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
