How to open New Incoming connection?
After installing 2026-03 Security Update KB5079473 (26200.8037) or KB5079466 (28000.1719), in Win32 Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network Connections (ncpa.cpl), the classic Menu bar can't be invoked. There's nothing occurred while pressing Alt key on keyboard, and also Menu Bar option in Organize - Layout disappeared. The problem is that several options in classic menus such as File - New Incoming connection and Advanced - Operator-Assisted Dialing, Bridge Connections, Remote Access Preferences, Advanced Settings, have not been moved to Settings app yet. Now these menu options can't be accessed.
It seems the classic menus in Win32 Control Panel all disappeared and can't be accessed anymore. Features in menu options that have not been moved to Settings app are unable to use. Classic menus in File Explorer and Control Panel all disappeared, including "Always show menus" option in Folder Options.

Is there a command prompt that will create the incoming connections interface? This is a serious inconvenience. I use the incoming connections to retrieve files from my home desktop using my cell phone while away. RDP doesn't work well in that situation.
The issue you're experiencing appears to be caused by the recent security updates (KB5079473 or KB5079466) affecting the classic control panel menus and legacy features in Windows 11. These updates might have inadvertently disrupted the classic interface and menu accessibility, especially for network and advanced features.
Yes, and how to solve it?
