Windows 10: Microsoft Moves Taskbar Options To Settings In Redstone

I have a shortcut on the taskbar for settings I just click
That way I don't have to click start button every time

 

One thing not mentioned so far is the Desktop Icon Setting option to see the CP made visible the same way the Recycle Bin, Network, User files are also listed as check box items. That's another quickie besides browsing for the control.exe file to create and simply pin a shortcut.





The one thing about all this however is that over time and even with the newer builds to come for 10 only the gradual change will see more items open up the Settings sub section when going to click on something in the present CP! Several besides what is mentioned in the report regarding the taskbar are already in there as most are aware.

 

I forgot to include the icon in the shortcut zip file. The download zip has now been updated

 

The download link was the problem since I was only finding the icon itself. Added that one into the Utilities Quick launch toolbar's folder there.

Ut oh since the Threshold 2 upgrade over the 10586 Insider Preview it replaced got buggy and not allowing folders to be renamed the main is now seeing the latest back to Insider builds 14271 going on! Restart scheduled! That was quick!

Update: That did the trick! That problem has a solutiion!

 

explorer ms-windows-store:updates

 

Excellent, Thanks

Got that now pinned to start menu *Smile

 

I have succeeded in creating a shortcut that brings you directly to the "Check for updates" button in Windows Update, in the settings app.
You only need the click the shortcut, and when it opens hit the Return/Execute key: Solved Windows 10 Themes created by Ten Forums members - Page 157 - Windows 10 Forums

 

Wow, truly revolutionary stuff!

 

And the WD updates simply will not go if VIPRE is running! That seems to be a constant regardless of which build is on! *cry So I simply shut it down long enough to run the check a couple of times until each update takes. I think you will this may be happening with a number of other softwares as well. The shortcut works out excellent however to cut down on the need to opening the Start menu>Settings>Update section over and over or even pinned to the Start menu itself having it in a pinned on the taskbar
