Just thinking out loud for the future. If we implement a protocol processor in Dev Home to help us navigate between pages and activate Dev Home with a protocol to perform certain actions (e.g. something like ms-devhome://{page}?{params}). We may be able to use that here as well and maintain a single implementation. Or both can also co-exist as long as the engine processing the two interfaces is the same.

#NoActionRequired

We should have caught this in the spec, so I apologize for asking for this change, but instead of the "open in new window" button we should be using the IsClickEnabled/Command built into the settings card to do the navigation.

Don't worry Kristen, changes make sense and also look better. 😃

I don't really like the misaligned toggle switches for disabled features 😞
WDYT?

Ooh agreed, I don't love that. TWhiteDesigns, thoughts?

I'm not sure where on the spectrum of "kind of annoying" to "shockingly difficult" it would be to nudge the toggle over to match in cases where the > icon doesn't show. If it's not bad, I'd suggest that.

Easy to do using DataTriggerBehavior + ChangePropertyAction 😃
Here is a screen of the proposed solution.

Davide Giacometti (@davidegiacometti) I think this looks great, let's do it!

I have addressed the feedback and updated the screenshot in the PR description.

A small nit I noticed on Windows 10 related to experimental feature: Quiet background processes and File Explorer source control integrations aren't available. The first experimental feature is totally hidden, but, the second one is visible only in the list.

Good catch. Quiet background processes showing up was fixed by #3545, but I opened #3679 to fix File Explorer integration.
