Karamjit Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 It will be offered until PC settings takes over all options One of the changes that Microsoft is making in Windows 10 is the gradual replacement of the traditional Control Panel with the new PC settings, which will provide a similar look and feel on all devices running the new operating system, including desktops and smartphones.The new PC settings menu isn’t only better organized and easier to use than the classic Control Panel, but it also features support for touch, so it can be accessed by those with tablets and touch-capable displays too.Gabriel Aul, head of the Windows Insider program, confirmed that the Control Panel is projected to be replaced by the new Settings screen sometime in the future, but it “will stay until Settings has all viable setting options supported.”The fact that Microsoft plans to remove the classic Control Panel and replace it with Settings isn’t new, but now it seems like the CP will still be offered in the RTM version of Windows 10 if Microsoft doesn’t move fast enough to bring all is features in the Settings screen in about a month.Very popular user requestSurprisingly, while some find the new Settings menu less intuitive than the old Control Panel, which they’re already familiar with, others asked Microsoft to move everything to the touch-optimized Metro-based interface.A user request posted on UserVoice and asking Microsoft to “merge PC settings and Control Panel” has more than 18,000 votes and is currently one of the most successful suggestions so far.“Most of the options are redundant (present in both) and the options which are not confuse the users! Why can't there be a single place to control all the settings?” the request reads.Windows 10 is projected to debut in approximately one month and Microsoft still has enough time to give up on the traditional Control Panel, but in case this doesn’t happen next month, expect it to go away when the first OS update comes out later this year.Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shorty6100 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 It sounds like they're implementing a "godmode" in Windows 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjall Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I hate the idea but if they really make it one place for all settings, well welcome change! (i have doubts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banned Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Some Windows developers have already suggested that the classic control panel needs to remain around for legacy purposes. Not that Microsoft would actually listen to developers or anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienForce1 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Some Windows developers have already suggested that the classic control panel needs to remain around for legacy purposes. Not that Microsoft would actually listen to developers or anything...But when did they ever listened ?Don`t you remember that the whole internet was asking them to bring back the Start Menu when they released Windows 8 ?

Enigmatism Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 What Microsoft is doing is likened to removing the steering wheel from in front of you and placing it under the hood of the car with everything else. Microsoft enjoys making it difficult for it's users to enjoy new OS's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CODYQX4 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I won't mind a new app, after all, the old version is a massive pile of suck as is.Most people will hate, because this is only the 20th incarnation since XP.Until they get it together, one throwing you to the other is stupid as hell.

TShadow Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 What I don't like that they have distributed settings all over the place in a not always logical way. Changing from public network to private should have been in the network settings? No, not for MS, it's in the connection settings, until you'll find out.All in all I don't mind new things if it's progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightDistortions Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I hope there's a way to bring it back, if not well i better hope i won't need W10 because i won't be getting it, i'll just continue using Linux and W7. MS is just all kinds of stupid these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonar Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 No one likes change these days, I'm all for change and bring on W10 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalju Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Oddly, though, why such a controversy? To me is absolutely no matter, what the name is.Most people uses less than one time per year this highly-rated control panel.It does not matter, what color the new cat is going to be, and what's his/her name. Importantly, that would try the mice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobrPatty Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 They have to use a settings setup in order for Windows to work on multiple platforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmes Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 No one likes change these days, I'm all for change and bring on W10 !I dont mind change If I didnt like change I wouldnt be a windows insider testing the new windows (I didnt have I become a windows insider and Ill get windows ten pro for free thought in my head I didnt when I became a insider). I do mind change thats not thought through correctly. Microsoft has all this time to make windows ten the best how long have they been working on it and if its anything like they say its going to be its going to be a very welcomed change in windows history and could be one for the books..
