This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I’m not sure what to say. Settings just doesn’t let you get anything done. Are they going to add all the missing functionality to settings before getting rid of control panel? We all know the answer.
If my company didn’t have a windows mandate I would fully abandon it at this point. What a joke.
Yup. I have 1 app that requires window. That's all that's keeping me. That one app. And we're migrating away from it towards a webif, so it's only a matter of time.
I'm curious about how this impacts the buttons in the settings app that just open the appropriate control panel applet. Like "additional sound settings" for example.
Am i the only one who just presses the windows button and types the setting thry want? I havent looked at control panel forever...
That's fine when you want a setting that exists in the settings app. Let me know if you find a place to adjust your also device speaker configuration, or toggle live monitoring of an audio input.
Or set up your IrDA driver for a dongle that it does not really recognize.
Settings was utterly useless for this. Long live the control panel!
It's not really fine, though. It's much more sparse on information, and the animations slow you down because buttons are not clickable until the animation ended. And then there's when the menu gets populated in chunks through a few seconds, don't even try to click the button because it will jump away and you'll click something else. No, this is not on an old machine: Ryzen system with SSD.
Good god, this is sad to witness. As long as I've been using windows, they've added duplicates of every single thing, but presented differently, each version being slightly more incapable in slightly different ways. How can a piece of software be so utterly lacking in design and forethought is beyond me, for real.
Nice, take away the only tool that sometimes fixes what your engineers destroyed
Nice screenshot, nobody will recognize by this what did they remove
I find it funny they've been trying to kill the Control Panel for 12 years now and still haven't been able to do it. Microsoft, here's an idea you can have for free: Put an "Other" section in the Settings app that opens the Control Panel inside the app, QED.
