In Windows 10, you can customize most settings from the Settings app. It was heard that Microsoft will eventually transfer all other remaining controls from Control panel to the Settings app. The Settings app pages have their own URI (Uniform Resource Identifier). The URI enables users to open any Settings page using the Command Prompt or Run window, or address bar of Windows Explorer, .bat scripts, etc.
Check out the complete list of Shortcuts to directly open pages in Settings app in Windows 10.
