Many Windows users are on their PC or laptop every day, but do not know all the tricks to work more conveniently, faster and easier. Read Tip 11 here Straight to app settings.

In the Start-menu lists a number of pinned apps. At the top right of that heading is the option All apps to list all installed apps. You can go directly to its settings.

To get to that immediately, you can choose via a right mouse click More and App settings. A shortcut on the Pinnedt-list just needs a right mouse click and then direct App settings.

That way you get extensive information about the app, such as the publisher and version, but also how much data it takes up and the app permissions (access to your microphone or camera, for example).

Directly to app settings 2

Via the apps settings you can get all kinds of information,
but it is also a place to terminate, delete the app
or reset

It’s also a place where you can immediately terminate the app if you’ve got it running, but it’s not doing what you want. Or reset if it no longer works properly, then you will be ‘repaired’.

Last options are the ability to uninstall the app and associated files, and a list of add-ons and downloadable content.
