  1. How to find URI address for a specific settings page


    I am searching for the URI address for the 'app volume and device preferences' settings page, so I can create a direct shortcut.Perhaps more importantly, I would like to know how to find this URI information for any given settings page. Searching the web for this information often returns an out-of-date or otherwise incomplete list from a third-party site - usually a relatively garbage clickbait website that exists primarily to serve ads.Anyway, rather than relying on this dubious information source, it would be useful to know how to locate this information myself.

    :)

    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.

    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 find URI address for a specific settings page :privacy-feedback"
    Get "Sync your settings" from "ms-settings:sync"

    Please view the names and URIs from link below

  4. How to find URI address for a specific settings page

    URI Scheme reference to always open Settings App on Home page

    Using "ms-settings:", in the Run command, this opens the Settings App to its Home page. After, if I use "ms-settings:bluetooth", the same Settings App will be redirected to its Bluetooth page.

    If I want to go back to Settings Home Page using a URI Scheme, "ms-settings:" does nothing. Therefore I'm assuming that "ms-settings:" is used only to open the Settings App, not to redirect it to its Home Page. I've looked everywhere, and I can't find a URI Scheme that will do this.

    Is there a URI Scheme that can redirect the Settings App to its Home Page? Redirect the Settings App when it's already running?

    Something that would ressemble "ms-settings:home" perhaps?
