      Eh, probably won’t be removed though

      All the original Microsoft blog post says is “The Control Panel is in the process of being **deprecated** in favor of the Settings app” – nothing about its actual removal, so it’ll probably sit around as another legacy and inconsistent part of the UI that gets carried forward for decades

      This will happen about the time Trump releases his health care plan.

      when I get close to the setting I actually want to change in the “Settings” app it has me go to control panel to actual change things.

      I don’t get why they’re out to make our lives more difficult

      Please make sure that its functionalities are in Settings and not require users to google for some obscure regedit hack to get things done.

      Fuckin idiots “let’s take away a feature that’s been there for 30 years that people like and use”. (Or however long).

      So how do we do all the stuff that doesn’t work from settings?

    15. CttCJim on

      The settings app on my pc is slow and has even locked up on me. Control panel never has, because it’s just windows explorer. And even if that does, you can just restart the process.

      I’ll be okay with no control panel when they ditch aesthetic for efficiency on the goddamn settings app.

      And yet the screen saver configuration window will live for another 30+ years

      First, refresh now control panel. Without any good replacements 🤣

      Considering that Windows 11 continues to carry over legacy features such as Fax, Internet Explorer, and the old file explorer, I believe Microsoft’s statement about deprecating the Control Panel in favor of the Settings app is more of a promise than a reality. I think the files associated with the Control Panel will remain in Windows 11.

      How about they stop killing stuff, and make a replacement first? I don’t care about Control Panel, I care about being able to use and setup my computer. They can kill it off I don’t care, but there has to be a fully functional way to do the same tasks that CP can already do.

      Why change the thing that’s worked for years and that everyone is comfortable with?

    25. Tbplayer59 on

      Why can’t they just improve Control Panel without renaming it? So I can find it a couple years from now.

    26. CapoExplains on

      Good riddance. My issue with the settings app is half the shit I want to do is in control panel. I’ll happily take control panel only *or* settings app only over this hybrid “Good luck finding it, shithead” approach we’ve had since Windows 8 launched *twelve years ago*.

      Official announcement:

      WCP EOL for EPG and SMSG, consult LAR or DPOR, for EA, EAS, ESA licensing. GPS, SA, CSM can assist

    29. Lynda73 on

      Ugh, that’s my ‘preferred’ way, even tho they totally keep moving it around and calling it different things.

    32. GummiBerry_Juice on

      Dude I’m going back to windows 7. This is bullshit. If they start this shit in Windows server I’m frigging done!

    33. Sensitive-Mine6500 on

      In favour of useless settings app without any iimportant settings to change

    34. Spiritual-Bath-666 on

      Windows 95 was designed by seriously talented people, given the viability and longevity of its UI.

      You can say the same about Unix and its command prompt.

    36. LForbesIam on

      The Settings app is terrible. It corrupts all the time and is missing 80% of the control panel settings.

    37. bewarethetreebadger on

      Am I trippin, or are they just wanting to change the name from “Control Panel” to “Settings”.

    41. h2k2k2ksl on

      So this means the next version of Windows is going to be out of control

    42. ptauger on

      Microsoft continues its apparently inexorable march to make Windows look and work like MacOS. Apparently, Microsoft has decided the market for new computer users is limited, so the best way to gain market share is to dumb down its user interface to mirror Mac’s.

    44. Recent_mastadon on

      It will be replaced by a serious of radio buttons that let you pick which type of ads you want to see.

    45. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH-OwO on

      WHAT?!

      ive been tryimg to adjust to their new options menus, only to have to look it up in control panel because the new one doesnt have every option and instead of fixing it, theyre just gonna prevent me from using it?

      ive been getting closer and closer to switching to linux, sticking to windows because of compatibility, but they might actually get me to scrub my devices of filthy corporations once and for all.

      edit: the title and other comments seemed to imply theyll remove access to it, but as stated in the article, backwards compatibility, which is basically windows’ main selling point, prevents them from doing as such

      that being said, my point still stands: this product is getting worse with every update and, despite it not being the primary intention, the drive to make windows profitable product had clearly taken its toll on its quality
