But then, what I did was follow this until the “System Properties box” showed up.
Then I went to “Task Manager” and selected `Properties`, right-clicked “System Protection Settings”, selected “Open File Location”, and right-clicked “SystemPropertiesProtection.exe”, and chose “Send To” and “Desktop”.

This gave me a shortcut directly to that function – that is ONE click.

As I usually do, I cut the shortcut from the desktop and pasted it into a folder I have for launching all sorts of apps in sort order (and I can even have subfolders, sort of like start menu, but mostly do not bother) instead of drilling down many layers of menus – and sometimes not finding what I am looking for because it is subsumed under a heading that does not have any apparent relation to what I seek.

Actually, I have been doing this for years, at least Win95 perhaps Win3.
