Recover control panel from win + x menu in windows 10

Microsoft has decided to be silent with a controversial mean for some users, that of eliminating the direct access to the Control Panel from the contextual menu that opens when we right-click on the start menu or press the Win + X keys. This affects version 1704 of Windows 10 and in practical terms it was the fastest way to access it, until now.

Microsoft removed the Control Panel from this menu

Apparently Microsoft's intention is for users to use the Settings panel instead of the old Control Panel, however many advanced options can only be done from this panel so it is still widely used by many users.

There is a way to get Control Panel back in this menu. For this we are going to create a shortcut of the Control Panel on our desktop.

• We create a new shortcut on the desktop by right-clicking and selecting New > Shortcut. Let's write the following address % windir% \ system32 \ control.exe - In the next step we will name it Control Panel and accept. Now We open Windows Explorer and write the following address: % LocalAppData% \ Microsoft \ Windows \ WinX Commonly we are going to find three folders, Group1, Group2 and Group3 Now we will have to choose in which segment we want to locate our direct access, the first group being the first one starting From above the context menu. Once we choose the group, we copy our shortcut that we created on the desktop. That is all, the final step will be to reboot the system so that the change is reflected. Now we have our Control Panel where it should never have gone.

I hope it has been very useful to you and see you next time.
