The Settings app in Windows 10 replaces the classic Control Panel. It consists of many pages and inherits a lot of classic settings. Almost every Settings page has its own URI, which stands for Uniform Resource Identifier. This allows you to open any Settings page directly with a special command. In this article, I would like to share the list of Settings pages URIs (ms-settings) available in Windows 10.
ADVERTISЕMENT
I've prepared the updated list of ms-settings commands which I keep up-to-date. I recommend you to refer to it for newer Windows 10 versions. Check it out:
ms-settings Commands in Windows 10 (Settings Page URI Shortcuts)
To launch the desired page of the Settings app directly, you need to do the following:
- Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
- Type or copy-paste the appropriate command into the Run box. The list of commands is available below. For example, use the following command to open the Colors settings page directly:
ms-settings:colors![windows 10 ms-settings run]()
This will open the Colors settings page directly:![windows 10 ms-settings run directly]()
ms-settings: is a special protocol which can be used to open Settings pages and other Modern apps which have well known URIs. Here is the list of URIs for pages of the Settings app.

There is no ms-settings: URI for Windows Defender settings which is really strange, since in Windows 10, they are also a part of the Settings app.
If these change in the future, this page will be updated. Many thanks to @tfwboredom for sharing this info exclusively for Winaero.
