Windows 10 intends to delete Control Panel

More than eight years have passed since the Microsoft κυκλοφόρησε για πρώτη φορά με τα Windows 8 τη νέα οθόνη ρυθμίσεων. Όταν ανακοινώθηκαν τα Windows 10, Microsoft said it plans to include the Control Panel until it's developed with all its options, and the Settings app is improved.

With Windows 8, Microsoft had brought in the Settings app only the basic options for customizing the operating system and setting up the device, while maintaining the Control Panel for those looking for advanced features.

But in recent years with the advent of Windows 10, the settings have become more functional and stable. THE Control Panel is still part of Windows 10, but apparently Microsoft plans to delete it.

The Control Panel is packed with gadgets that allow you to configure and control the operating system system. It provides a quick way to get information about your system, including the processor, the μνήμηs, manufacturer, system type and others.

In Windows 10 Build 20161, which was sent to Insiders, there was a new Start menu and Microsoft began redirecting the Control Panel "System" page to the Settings page under Settings> System> About.

There, if you click the "Copy" button, you will be able to copy the device name, processor, memory, device ID, product ID, system type, and pen / touch information.

The new version of Windows 10 for Insiders, indicates that Microsoft is currently trying to improve the Settings application before completely disabling Control Panel.

Microsoft does not intend to bury Control Panel any time soon, but there are plans to replace Control Panel in Settings. There are still several functions that Microsoft must transfer to Settings before deleting it completely. For example, the Settings application does not have a corresponding page for "Additional Power Settings", which still opens through the Control Panel.

It is also worth noting that relocation is not going to be a short-term change. The control migration will be done gradually and the individual pages will be redirected when the settings are completed.

In one post on the Windows blog, Brandon LeBlanc, Program Manager for Windows Insider, said: “If you rely on settings that only exist in Control Panel, submit comments and tell us what these settings are ”.

The dashboard, however, will remain accessible in Windows 10 for the year 2021.
