New major changes to Windows 10: The famous Control Panel will never be the same again

Known in the current form of Windows 7, the Control Panel menu is about to permanently disappear from the arsenal of Windows 10, with Microsoft deciding to continue in a chosen direction at the time of launching Windows 8, even though many of the “innovations” presented then end in failure.

According to a discovery made by analyzing the guts of the latest experimental version of Windows 10, Microsoft is preparing to completely hide or remove the Control Panel menu, in the classic version we have become accustomed to over the past 10 years.

Its role will be taken over by the Settings menu, a simplified reinterpretation of the Control Panel that for Windows veterans rather arouses frustration, through the often unintentional way of presenting Windows settings and frequently sending in the old Control Panel, when fine-tuning is required.

Microsoft has gradually migrated the options that were previously found in the Control Panel, offering roughly the same functionality, but in a new format and under a different name.

Fortunately, Microsoft did not rush by forcing a brutal move to the new Settings menu, choosing to make full use of user feedback.

Starting from this premise, the final version of the Settings menu should incorporate everything the old Control Panel had to offer, plus some extras.

In practice, ordinary users do not have much time to accommodate, the transition to be completed with the launch of Windows 10 build 2004, scheduled for this fall.
