    Is the a method to programmatically open the "Windows Settings" form (in Windows 10) from vb.net, as though you did it from the Start Menu?

      To open the settings home page:

      System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ms-settings:")

      If you want to go to a specific page, you just need to append an extra string to the URI: Launch the Windows Settings app - Windows UWP applications | Microsoft Docs[^] Eg: To launch the "default apps" page:

      System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ms-settings:defaultapps")
