Let’s discuss the Windows Shortcut RUN Commands for Settings. Today morning, I was working on Surface 3 and checking whether the old CPL shortcut commands are still working with the latest build of Windows 10.  Windows Key Shortcut A to Z Keyboard Shortcuts in Windows 10. Windows Shortcut RUN Commands Details.

Introduction—I’ve written two posts related to shortcut and run commands for Windows 8.1 and other operating systems: Post1 and Post2. My next question was, “How do I find out and launch new Settings application pages from the RUN menu on a Windows 10 machine?” Interesting, isn’t it? All the following commands can be run from the RUN menu (Windows Key + R).

How to launch the home page of the Settings application from Windows 10 : ms-settings: Privacy and Ease of Access setting pages run commands are very helpful.

I’ve explained Privacy once at the bottom of the post. To launch the Ease of Access closed capturing setting pages, we need to run the following command from the RUN command :)—ms-settings:easeofaccess-closedcaptioning.
