    You can reduce keystrokes on that. Just tap the Win key instead of Win+R. Type ncpa.cpl and hit enter.

      If you work on as many servers and desktops as I do, you’ll eventually encounter machines that have slow loading start menus and search, or search the web for some stupid ass reason instead. I’ll save that time with adding R. Still a 1 handed move anyhow

        or search the web for some stupid ass reason

        The reason was actually documented at the end of Halo 3; when Cortana got rampancy and subsequently infected all of our windows 10 start menus.

        If you’re such a server and desktop expert, why are you not setting a GPO to disable the start menu web features??

          If you’re such a server and desktop support expert, how do you gpo random client that call in, or new client and environments when you know nothing about them, or friend and families computers?

          Listen, kid, when you’ve been in the game long enough you’ll come across unique scenarios enough to a point where it is God damn annoying.

          Also who the hell GPOs network settings?
