Where's the Control Panel

[Tony D]

I used to be able to right-click (maybe left-click, I don't remember) the bottom left corner of my screen to get a context menu that allowed me to get to the Control Panel and more. Now I'm getting the context menu that comes when right-clicking on a blank area of the desktop. Windows 10 just went thru an update. Anyone else seeing this?

Hi Tony,
On win10 i can still get the context menu by right clicking on the start button.

If you don't get this, there is another way to get the same menu up.
A keyboard shortcut....... windows key + x

Thanks Starbuck. I must have had a brain fart. I screwed up thinking that I should right-click in the bottom left corner. Problem is I have my Start button on the top right. If I right-click on the Start menu, I do get the context menu I expected.

Also, thanks for the keyboard shortcut. Nice. I'll probably be using that more often as I prefer keyboard shortcuts to having to grab a mouse and hunting for something to click onto.

I use that shortcut all the time.
It saves a lot of searching. ☺

It just hit me. Most of the computers I work on have the taskbar on the bottom. I must have gotten use to that. Then when it came to my machine I was throne.

Isn't the task bar on a Mac on the top right, Tony?

On a Mac, the taskbar is on the top as you said. I don't think you can move it.
