Since the release of Windows 10, users have various ways to access Settings compared to Windows 8 and 8.1. One of them is to open Settings from the Start Menu. However, as it is an option, the icon of the operating system's settings tool can be lost on the Start Menu. Luckily, users can completely retrieve lost Settings in the Start Menu on Windows 10.
To activate the restoration of lost Settings in the Start Menu on Windows 10, users simply need to operate within the Settings of Windows. Here is how to do it.
Restoring Settings in Windows 10 Start Menu
Step 1: Open the All Settings app. Despite Settings being missing from the Start Menu, they are still accessible via the Action Center. Therefore, you can directly access All Settings from the Action Center on Windows 10 or Windows 10 Anniversary.
Step 2: Click on the Personalization > Start section.
Step 3: Select the Choose which folders appear on Start option.
Step 4: The Choose which folders appear on Start section allows you to select folders to appear on the Start Menu interface. To activate the restoration and retrieve Settings in the Start Menu on Windows 10 and Windows 10 Anniversary, you simply need to toggle the switch from Off to On to restore Settings.
With this method, you can also add additional folders such as Documents, Pictures, Videos, and HomeGroup on the Start interface of Windows 10.
As a brand-new feature on Windows 10, Settings contains nearly all settings and customizations previously found in Control Panel. Even when comparing Settings and Control Panel in Windows 10, it is evident that Settings is a more user-friendly tool.
Setting up Settings to display in the Start Menu is a significant improvement. However, due to existing issues with the Start Menu tool on Windows 10, such as common startup failures, users can refer to detailed guides on fixing Windows 10 Start Menu issues previously introduced by Mytour. Rest assured, this issue is relatively easy to resolve and has long-lasting effects.
