  1. Hi,
    I’m looking for two URL shortcuts of ms-settings (Redstone1).

    1. Apps for websites — in System
    2. Notifications — in Privacy

    Could you please inform me about them, if possible?

    Best regards,
    Hideki Ashida (a Japanese in Tokyo)

  3. Suddenly all my ms-settings: and zoommtg: shortcuts stopped working and I could not create new ones. (suspected Win10 update but couldn’t find clues online.) Creating a shortcut using the ms-settings: protocol creates a .url link that starts Zoom!! Any thoughts on why my system doesn’t want to create the shortcut correctly?
