Last week I switched to Windows 10. I can't find the tools menu. I've checked settings and other areas I've thought of and not having any luck. I need to look over a few things but they all seem to be included in the tools section. Anyone else having this problem?

Hello,

Press Windows Key + R, type explorer shell:::{D20EA4E1-3957-11d2-A40B-0C5020524153} in Run and click OK. It will open the folder of administrative tools available in Windows 10.

Hope this helps, Good luck :)

    Guys

    Another way to get to the tools mentioned above, using Windows10, is to just type 'Control Panel' in the search box, bottom  left, then click on the name.  Then find 'Administration Tools' in the list and click on it. 

    It takes you to the same place.....  

    I found administrative tools via the control panel (thank you) had to find control panel via Cortana.  Windows deleting necessary functions and now I have to waste time looking for needed functions is heart breaking; I feel angry now.

    At any rate, I did find Admin. Tools, BUT, there were many many other segments connected to Tools in a computer lexicon - I do not know where any of it addressed "Unblocking or Blocking" re:   screen to pop-up or not pop-up.  There was no reference in its computer lexicon for me to discern I was in the right place to solve my problem.   

    I know, I must stop this horror, wasting my time, software that is not computer friendly.  There must be alternative resources to go to.  I will seek it now.

    It was so simple before. just go to Tools, and you will be able to block

    or unblock your project.  Why isn't Tools on this Windows 10?

    Please advise.  Why did they take it off?
