Q. Are there shortcuts in Windows 10 to quickly get to certain settings pages?

A. The quickest way to get to certain settings pages in Windows 10 is to just type the settings page name into Cortana, for example try typing Display or even more specifically Resolution. The same works for pretty much every Settings page. Alternatively you can type a specific ms-settings: string to open a specific page which can also be used within your application to open pages. Below are some of the most common ones:
