I'm trying to figure out how to open the "Configure advanced user profile properties" control panel window by command line, so that I can provide a link to it in my application.
It can be opened without going through the control panel by typing "userprofile" in Start->Search box. So I assume that it must have a valid command to open it directly, but I can't seem to figure out what the command is.
I've found that "control nusrmgr.cpl" opens the control panel for "User Accounts" which has the link to "Configure advanced user profile properties", but I want to provide a direct link.
Anyone have any insight to how this can be done?

To view user accounts on your computer: Open an elevated/administrator command prompt. Type net user and press Enter. Observe the list of user accounts on your computer.
Accessing Command Prompt's Properties To do this, you will simply need to right-click on the top portion of the Command Prompt Window and hit the “Properties” link that is located on the right-click menu that appears.
You can open it from the Start menu (Windows System → File Explorer). Or, press the keyboard shortcut Windows key + E (hold down the Windows key and press E). Click in the location bar. Type %USERPROFILE% and press Enter .
The actual command line for Configure advanced user profile properties is:rundll32.exe sysdm.cpl,EditUserProfiles. You can just copy & paste this into cmd window to run.

For others that find themselves here: the answer provided by @wmz still works for me, Windows 10 Enterprise, 64-bit, 21H1. This page was the first result when I Googled for this question/solution.
Running this from a standard command prompt will produce a non-elevated version of this applet (with only your current profile listed). Running from an Admin command prompt will produce the elevated version (with all profiles listed). Also, for me it takes several seconds to load and does not indicate that it is loading, but does still load.
The actual command line for Configure advanced user profile properties is: rundll32.exe sysdm.cpl,EditUserProfiles. You can just copy & paste this into cmd window to run.
