(v4.0 H1) Restoring Control Panel Pages/Links(1507-10 22H2)

WITH ALL WINDOWS 10 VERSIONS THANKS TO THIS AMAZING WINDHAWK MOD BY M417Z!!!
IF YOUR PROBLEM OR QUESTION IS ALREADY EXPLAINED IN THE README FILES I AM NOT GOING GO ANSWER YOU. READ THE TEXT I PUT THERE BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS.
I started this project like a month ago, seeing Microsoft ruining the good old control panel more and more with every update was what started it. Currently i managed to restore Personalization,Windows Update,Display, Notification Tray icons,Default Apps(only visual,half of the page is broken still),Performance Info and tools and its score that can also redirect you to that page in system CPL. The pages open inside CPL without needing to open in an external window(some applet settings still do that unfortunately).Tested in Every major Windows 10 release(not tested for 11).Some legacy applets may not work depending on the version of Windows 10 you are using(eg 7 intl.cpl works up to 1909,8.X themecpl.dll works up to 1607). Some applets functionalities can't be restored unfortunately but you can still view their pages(eg 7 style usercpl.dll).
There is a way to restore links on versions 1507-1809 instead of importing files to shell32.dll.mun you directly import them to shell32.dll but it will require you to break shell32.dll's signature and will force you to disable secure boot and choose "disable driver signature enforcement" every time you boot. It's not very secure so thats why i wouldn't recommend attempting to get links on Windows 10 versions 1507-1809.
UPDATED WINDHAWK MOD FOR VERSION 3.2 02/02/2024
This updated mod includes correct Applet Sorting for 7/8.X Restorations.
Use this mod instead of the one included in the pack.
Thanks again aubymori !
