by From there, all settings gradually disappear.
Earlier this year, Microsoft developers made a number of changes to the Windows 11 settings section to make many of the system's features much more accessible. This month, they began testing even more ways to replace features that were always only available through the Control Panel.
- In the new Windows 11 test versions, Microsoft moved advanced network settings to a new system app page ” Settings” which includes folder sharing, printer sharing, and network discovery options.
- Some network and device settings entry points in Windows 11 now also redirect to the Settings app instead of forcing the user go to the “Control Panel”.
- Also, in the “Settings” there are links to the “Control Panel” sections used to uninstall applications.
- The section for removing Windows updates in the latest version of the system is also became part of “Settings”.
Microsoft describes these changes as an ongoing effort to move all important settings to a system app of the same name. Clearly, the company is looking to streamline this area of Windows and eventually make the Control Panel completely unnecessary, TheVerge editors note.
