A decade later, Windows is still bringing Control Panel features to the Settings app
Microsoft has been gradually migrating features from the traditional Control Panel to the more modern Settings app in Windows. Despite efforts to simplify the user interface, the Control Panel remains essential for managing certain system settings. The latest features to move to the Settings app include clock settings, time servers, formatting for time, number, and currency, UTF-8 language support toggle, keyboard character repeat delay, and cursor blink rate. Additionally, the Phone Link section in the Start Menu now allows users to view notifications from mobile apps, not just texts, calls, and photos. While Microsoft aims to consolidate settings in the Settings app, the Control Panel continues to play a crucial role in Windows, reflecting the challenge of transitioning away from a long-established system.
