Windows 10 settings: NVDA does not provide easy access to the back button #6950

Description

@PratikP1

In the Windows 10 settings app, win+i, The back button appears adjacent to the system menu and to the minimize, maximize, and close buttons. But, navigation to this button via the NVDA object navigation leads to a lot of confusion. there are multiple "Settings window" objects that appear in the object navigation. For example, two "Settings Window; settings" objects appear adjacent to each other and more. This behavior does not occur in Narrator. I've asked Microsoft to assign a keyboard command to Back and Home buttons. But, ideally, both home and back buttons should appear in the tab order. Let me know if you want a log.
STR:

  1. Open the Settings app (windows+i).
  2. Go to one of the settings such as "updates and security."
  3. Use object nav to move up the hierarchy to the "settings window" level and move to the next and previous objects.

Test environment: Windows 10 Pro build 15048
NVDA version next-13899,af44c1d4
