I find the control panel is a bit awkward to find and usually just luck that I find it on advanced setting for something to other. Is there any way to have the full control panel (not that settings nonsense) on the start menu, pin or otherwise?
I can pin it to the task bar if it's open, but I like a clean task bar, not cluttered with stuff that should be in the start menu.
open control panel. Right click it when it appears on the taskbar. pin it. done
Ah nevermind, was responding to your thread subject. Wasn't so clear.
What other thread? this is nothing to do with the others, there's no option to pin to start menu, only task bar.

You could create a shortcut with target %windir%explorer.exe shell:::{5399E694-6CE5-4D6C-8FCE-1D8870FDCBA0}and pin that to start. CLSID Key (GUID) Shortcuts List for Windows 10 - Windows 10 blog

The only way I found just now after trying different things(right click in system32, right click in drop down menu in the control panel...etc.) was use the desktop tool bar in the taskbar >> go to control panel(not the direct link, but the one with the cascading menu) then right click on "All control panel items" pin to start.
after I got done trying different things, finding a way, posting the answer, refreshing the page... I see your answer(which solution which I totally forgot about) then can kick myself in the baconRight click menu on Start button has shortcut to Control Panel.
Good one Mike
Perfect, that's fine for me. Odd that they have different options for the start button and right click. I'm sure Bill Gates does it to annoy us.Right click menu on Start button has shortcut to Control Panel.
