If you find you’re accessing the same settings over and over in Windows 10, you can add these settings to the Start menu as tiles for quick and easy access. We’ll show you how to do this.

To pin a settings screen to the Start menu, open the Start menu and click “Settings”.

01_clicking_settings

Click on a settings category, such as “Update & Security”.

02_clicking_update_and_security

On the screen for that settings category, a list of subcategories display on the left. To add a setting to the Start menu, right-click on the setting in the list and select “Pin to Start”.

03_selecting_pin_to_start

The setting is added to the bottom of the tiles on the right side of the Start menu, along with programs you’ve installed.

04_setting_tile_on_start_menu

Note that Microsoft changed the way you pin settings to the Start menu from previous builds. There used to be a thumbtack to the left of the search box on each settings screen that allowed you to pin the setting to the Start menu.

You can also customize the Start menu in several other ways.
