To search for system settings using the Start menu, open the Start menu and type a
word or two describing what you’d like to find. For example, you could type
“keyboard” to find keyboard settings, or “display” to find settings related to your
monitor.
A list of results will appear in the left half of the Start menu. From there, click the
result that most closely matches what you’re looking for, and you’ll be taken to the
appropriate configuration app.
If you don’t see what you need and would like more search results, click the
“Settings” header to see a detailed list.
After you click an item in the list, the proper settings app will pop up, and you can
begin your configuration activities.
You can also search for a particular setting directly within the Windows Settings app.
First, open “Settings” by opening the Start Menu and clicking the “gear” icon on the
left. You can also press Windows+I to quickly open a Settings window from
anywhere in Windows 10.
When the window opens, locate the search box near the top that says “Find A
Setting.”
If you’d like more results, click “Show All Results” at the bottom of the list.
If you can’t find what you need in Settings, you can also search within the
legacy Control Panel app. First, open the Start menu and type “Control Panel,” then
hit “Enter.”
When Control Panel pops up, locate the search bar in the upper-right corner of the
window.
Click the search box and type a word describing what you’d like to find. The results will
appear in the window below.
Click a result and a new window will pop up containing the settings you’re looking for. After
you make changes, remember to click the “Apply” or “OK” buttons. The settings will be saved,
and the window will close. Good luck!
