Accessing Classic Control Panel Windows 10/11

Run + ‘sysdm.cpl’

Run + ‘sysdm.cpl’ bypasses new windows 10/11 settings to take you straight to the classic control panel for user profiles.

There are several more good ones like ‘ncpa.cpl’ for network, or ‘appwiz.cpl’ for applications, and I imagine these will be required knowledge for admins moving forward with the new windows 11 settings that are increasingly difficult to navigate.

Lusrmgr.msc is also useful. Gets you to the local user accounts.
