If this is what you’re looking for, you might have wondered… where the heck is it on the Windows 10 settings?
As you might have realized, Windows 10 settings doesn’t show this settings dialogue anymore. Instead, you have bunch of other useless things under settings all around keyboard settings—but none of them will help you to increase or decrease your Cursor Blink Rate, the Character Repeat such as the Repeat Delay or the Repeat Rate. And even though you type “keyboard properties” to the search console of the settings, Windows will tell you that it doesn’t know nothing about nothing:
Alright, let’s solve this.
The Keyboard Properties are still there. And Windows developers made it as difficult as possible to find it. And why would they make your life miserable? Because Microsoft can!
Open the commander. To do so, Press CTRL+X and click “run”. On the run field, type cmd:
And then, on the command window, type these magic words:
main.cpl @1
This is how it should look like:
And by saying these words, the magical Keyboard Properties will appear!
I hope that helped. And if it did, don’t be shy. I appreciate any comment below.
Thank you!

How to stop desktop icons from moving to another screen
Since the last Windows 10 update, Microsoft thinks it’s a great idea to randomly move your icons to another screen. When Windows does what it wants without asking, emotions usually run high. This could be the beginning of an artificial intelligence Windows – or more likely: Microsoft developers are just morons (tell me something I don’t know).

How to Remove Duplicate Emails on Outlook
Thanks so much for this, reinstalled Windows 10 today and was about to go berserk because I couldn’t find this option no longer.
God Microsoft, get your shit together!
Thanks man! its driving me crazy after i reinstalled my win10. its one of the basic things i start tweaking after a fresh install. wasted like 15 mins hunting it down within win10 itself.
Great share! cheers mate!
Wasted 2 days for this! You are great! Thanks. You saved my day!!
main.cpl @1 solved my problem.
Microsoft seems to want to take as much away from our control as possible. They have a word for that.
Thanks. (Not the word…)
Much obliged!
Thanks, was doing my head in trying to find that setting panel. Cheers!
Hiding these properties from users is really annoying.
Your advice worked like a miracle!
Just had to enter two spaces between cpl and @1
Thanks good to find someone who knows something gc
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thank you very much :)
Is this a permanent setting or only active during a logged in session?
main.cpl @1
Magic! Thx
Thank you! I am only testing W10 Pro to see what has changed in the past few years, and it appears that MS has aimed W10 for most everyone except keyboard users. To even hide keyboard hardware settings from the Settings menu?? LOL! That’s crazy!
Thank you. I’m fascinated by (but too lazy to research) the reason that this works.
GREAT! Thank you so much. My first few days on Win 10, have been incredibly frustrating. It is so hard to make things work as efficiently as Win 7. Microsoft seems to be trying to make every good thing they ever did be difficult in the next version.
I join the chorus of praise for this very simple, extremely effective fix. Now if we can just get the poor soulless bastards at Microsoft to let us control the color of the text highlighter…
Thank you!
Thank you very much for your very helpful tip.
2 things I wander:
1. How do you know that?
2. What the hell was Microsoft thinking?
Regards.
