    where do I find where the control panel is

    Right click the start button and select control Panel should do so.

    In addition Cortana can also find it.

    hope that helps.

    Ditto on the Cortana search. It is very good when finding things. It's almost faster since I type so fast.

    To put Control Panel on taskbar type "Control Panel" in Cortana, open it, minimise to taskbar, right click on it to pin to taskbar.

    The first thing I do when I get a new computer is to add COntrol Panel as a desktop shortcut.

    1. Right click desktop
    2. Select personalize
    3 Change Desktop shortcuts
    4. Desktop Icon check the box for Control Panel and it will display on your desktop

    where is the control panel?

    What's the importance of minimizing it? It pins perfectly fine without minimizing. Just right-click its taskbar entry and choose "Pin to taskbar".

    There's no such concept as "old thread" in a technical forum. Especially in the era of all-seeing search engines.
