![]() ![]() The Control Panel is not the only holdover from old ye old Windows found in 11. ![]() I'm getting a headache just thinking about trying to explain to family members why you have to use a different, much older menu to uninstall certain programs-or what the difference is between the new Settings Power menu and the old Power Options pop-up and its bajillion individual tweaks, for example. I suppose it's nice to be able to use an old and familiar interface that I know my way around, but it's also jarring when almost everything else in the OS directs me to the new Settings menu. If Microsoft hasn't completely made the Control Panel redundant and rebuilt all of its functionality in the newer Settings menu, that's embarrassing-it's been years! And if Microsoft has made it entirely redundant, then why is it still there? As a deep cut of nostalgia for the Windows OGs? I can't think of a good excuse for it to still be there. There's still a Control Panel entry called Backup and Restore (Windows 7), for god's sake. ![]() ![]() And now, with its big relaunch, and the supposed big emphasis on Windows 11's bold new look, the same old shit is hiding one layer deep. Shouldn't all of its functionality be contained within the Settings menu? Microsoft had six years with Windows 10 to deal with this inconsistency and it didn't. It's ludicrous that the Control Panel still exists. ![]()
