Windows 10: Tip: Create a Mini Control Panel in Start Menu

Although Control Panel is being slowly eradicated, there are still a few links that are useful and getting to them via settings menu is a bit unintuitive. You can of course, pin control panel to the Start Menu to make access easier.

People may not be aware that you can pin links from Control Panel to Start as well.

I have just pinned ones I use most to Start Menu. I actually grouped them in one tile as well.

Start Menu , Control Panel

When I click on anything in the tool bar (settings, control panel etc) I can't use my mouse, I can only operate it and click other things via the keyboard (using tab, shift, enter, arrows etc). Where in my settings do I go to change this??
