If you want to open settings, you can easily open them via “Start > Settings” or Windows key + I. But there is also the possibility of calling up the individual settings directly using the ms-settings: commands. These can be created via Run (Windows key + R) or as a shortcut. In this article, we would like to show you how you can call up various settings directly under Windows 11 (FAQs).
Microsoft has replaced the classic control panel with the Settings app in Windows 11 operating system. The new settings app has many sub-pages and also contains a lot of new settings pages. These settings can also be called up directly under Windows 11 (ISO) with their own URI ( ms-settings protocol ). URIs enable another app or operating system settings to be started in order to carry out a specific task.
