Updated: 06/30/2019 by Computer Hope

You can quickly open the Microsoft Windows System menu using the following methods:

  • Press the Windows key and the Pause/Break key at the same time.
  • On your desktop, or in File Explorer, right-click This PC (in Windows 10) or My Computer (previous versions of Windows). In the menu, choose Properties.

The System window appears similar to the screenshot below. Not only does this window display useful information about your computer, on the left it features convenient links to the Device Manager, and your Advanced System Settings.
