Description of the new feature

In settings, when I navigate to a stub section like advanced for a profile, it be nice to have a back button to return to the profile's settings

Proposed technical implementation details

I think the UX is quite consistent to some of other Microsoft app. Windows Settings has the same behavior, you can navigate to anywhere in the tree by clicking on the breadcrumb.

Screenshot from Windows Settings. Clicking on Notifications would take you back to Notifications - no back button exist.

@shmuelie You are right. I take my comment back - didn't realized that there was a small back icon tucked away at the very top corner of the window.

I think your original "ask" is valid but may bring low value. A nice to have!
