    "Run" command to bring back classic "System" control panel page.


    Saw this on How-to-Geek today. To view the "System" page of the control panel, after updating to 20H2, you can either:

    1. Run "explorer.exe shell:::{BB06C0E4-D293-4f75-8A90-CB05B6477EEE}" (no quotes). This will show the System page every time you run it, but doesn't add the page back to the Control Panel. So, the next time you go to Control Panel & click the "System" link, it opens the new Settings page again. So, use #2:
    2. Add a shortcut to your desktop, using the same string from #1. This will create a shortcut called "Explorer" on your desktop, that will open the "System" page of the Control Panel, every time.

    Here's where I found this:
