You can also access it by clicking on the Start button and typing, well, Control Panel. In some of these windows, including the Mouse one, there will be a link to Additional Settings that will open the Control Panel version, but it’s not the case for all of them.Īs mentioned above, you can still access the full Control Panel from the Start menu under Windows Settings. For example, if you type in Mouse, it will open the new Mouse Settings window, which may or may not have what you’re looking for.
Unfortunately, this won’t work for a lot of settings. If you’re lucky, it will come up in its classic Windows dialog box. This will work for some settings-for example, Keyboard settings.Ĭlick on the Start button and start typing the setting you want.

Thanks to T4L reader James who pointed out in the comments on another post that while Control Panel is no longer in the right-click menu, you can still get to it from the Start menu if you scroll down the list of programs to Windows System and click the down arrow to display several options, including CP. However, with the Fall 2017 Creators Update, that menu item has now disappeared. Until recently, you could access Control Panel by right-clicking on the Start menu.
