has the same effect as clicking the Network and Sharing entry in CP.

Thanks for confirming that it works for you.
o Win+R control sysdm.cpl
o Win+R control /name Microsoft.System
o Win+R control /name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter
etc.

What we need is the right set of commands to test.
o I don't know _which_ those commands are (those were just guesses)

We need:
a. Commands that used to work
b. Commands that no longer work

TBH I'd just go to Control Panel and click the links there, but each to his/her
own! :^)

Hehhehheh... it's a pet peeve of mine that people go to all sorts of
trouble to explain the simplest things via a Microsoft GUI that constantly
changes, e.g., oh, say, "how to open an admin command window".

a. They can spend a hundred words telling you how to find it in "search",
b. Or, you can just type "cmd" followed by a three-fingered keystroke
Win+R cmd {control+shift+enter}

One huge advantage of the Run commands is that you can insert them into
shortcuts, which makes it a _lot_ fewer steps for things you frequently do.
FILESPEC = c:\app\os\links\shutitdown.lnk
TARGET = shutdown.exe /r /f /t 5 /c "Reboot in 5 seconds!"
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\shutitdown.exe]

Then, any time you want to shut it down, you just type:
Win+R shutitdown

Other GUIs, if you do them frequently enough, you can simply remember them:
o Win+R control
o Win+R powercfg.cpl
o Win+R systempropertiesprotection
o Win+R ms-settingsrivacy-microphone
o Win+R devicemanager
etc.

Still others are simply one-word Run "commands"
o Win+R winver
o Win+R rstrui
o Win+R verifier
o Win+R perfmon /rel
etc.
