System properties

Also, Win+Break (or Win+FN+S/B on some notebooks) should still open up the old system properties window - at least for now. Let‘s see when MS finds and “fixes“ that as well.

 

None of these tricks work on 19042.450 at least for me.

 

If someone is interested, you can also add it to the right-click menu, there it is always easy to find.
1. Add only to Desktop Right Click menu

Spoiler: Reg code for desktop only

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\System]
"Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-109"
"Position"="Bottom"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\DesktopBackground\Shell\System\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe shell:::{BB06C0E4-D293-4f75-8A90-CB05B6477EEE}"

2. Add to directory Right Click menu
NB! for this You must at first change permissions, open registry key

Code:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell
and
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell

and enable full control for administrators (if needed also for users) and if done add the following registry key

Spoiler: reg code

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\System Properties]
"Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-109"
"Position"="Bottom"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Background\shell\System Properties\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe shell:::{BB06C0E4-D293-4f75-8A90-CB05B6477EEE}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\System Properties]
"MUIVerb"="System Properties"
"Icon"="%SystemRoot%\\System32\\imageres.dll,-109"
"Position"="Bottom"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\System Properties\command]
@="C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe shell:::{BB06C0E4-D293-4f75-8A90-CB05B6477EEE}"

NB! if You'll use the second key, then the first isn't need add, because the second also shows up on desktop right clicking.
That's why I give also two different names for those right click links.
If This all has been done, You can change permissions back to defaults.

 

Worked perfectly, even on my DIY Hyper-V Server GUI build.

I propably made a typo in a shortcut, looks like it is definitely working. (Hopefully M$ does not patch this)

 

I made a suggestion in Feedback Hub to add OEM Picture to the new Settings, so I am sure, that MS will look into it ASAP.

 

Tried this shortcut on Build 20197 and it doesn't work, MS has completely removed the old System Properties from the Dev builds.

For some reason the old systems properties is not showing up for me, tried all solutions but it always takes me back to the new one in the settings app. Eventually MS will remove the old systems propeties like when they did with WU before Windows 10 was released, which I think is still a mistake.
