Here's How:

1. Open PC settings.

2. From the default Personalize on the right side, click/tap on the View recently used settings link at the bottom. (see screenshot below)

3. Under Recent on the right side, you will now see all of your recently changed settings made in PC settings that you could also make changes to as well. (see screenshot below step 4)

4. If you like, you can click/tap on the View personalization settings link at the bottom on the right side of Recent to return to Personalize (step 2). (see screenshot below)

That's it,
Shawn
