Windows 10: Shell Destinations

I've found a large list of Shell Destinations for Windows 7.

Most work with Windows 10. Some examples:

::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} - Control Panel
::{74246bfc-4c96-11d0-abef-0020af6b0b7a} - Device Manager

However, Windows Update doesn't work. Perhaps only for Windows 7:
::{36eef7db-88ad-4e81-ad49-0e313f0c35f8}


What's the shell for Windows 10's Windows Update?


My Windows Version isn't important for this topic, but I'll include it anyway.
Windows Version: OS Build 1909 18363.720

Shell Destinations

Here are the Windows 10 equivalents
Shell Commands - TenForumsTutorials
Settings Pages List of URI Shortcuts - TenForumsTutorials
General Tips Rundll32 Commands - TenForumsTutorials
CLSID Key (GUID) Shortcuts - TenForumsTutorials

There is also
Create Check for updates shortcut - TenForumsTutorials
which, if memory serves me correctly, I had to run as admin to trigger update checks [it otherwise just took me to the WU section within Settings].

Access Points and Destinations

it takes a bit of getting used to moving from the access point lists to the destinations list they use now.



a couple of points i would suggest that are useful is that

1 many applications will inherit the settings specified in the browser or the 'default' setting in the destinations menu

2 you can add destinations and copy access points to them, if say you want some things to use wifi and an internet cell access point in that order, but you want something else to only only the internet cell access point you can add it to a new destination.

3 some apps that bring up the destinations list allow you to select access points from the options menu.
