""We're doing it carefully because there are a lot of different network and printer devices & drivers we need to make sure we don't break in the process," explains March Rogers, partner director of design at Microsoft."
""It looked like Microsoft was about to finally cut the Control Panel in 2024, after years of Microsoft pushing aside the Control Panel in its latest Windows 11 updates.""
""Microsoft is 'focusing on design craft in Windows at the moment,' according to Rogers. The Settings interface is being 'redesigned for clarity' this month, alongside other improvements to Windows 11 that are part of a broader effort to fix the OS.""
Microsoft began transitioning away from the Control Panel in 2012 with Windows 8. Over a decade later, the migration continues in Windows 11. The process is complex due to the need to ensure compatibility with various network and printer devices. Although there were indications of a 2024 removal, Microsoft confirmed ongoing migration efforts. Recent updates have moved several settings to the Settings app, improving user experience. Microsoft is currently redesigning the Settings interface for clarity as part of broader OS enhancements.
